How to make Mediasite content viewable if Minerva is unavailable


DISCLAIMER 

By following this guide, you are making your content temporarily available to all members of the University, regardless of any modules they are enrolled on. Users will be able to search for the content in Mediasite (mymedia.leeds.ac.uk) and also anybody with the video link will be able to watch it. This is recommended only as a contingency plan when Minerva is unavailable if students are requesting urgent access to Mediasite content (such as timetabled Lecture Capture recordings).

If your lecture contains confidential information, please contact the IT Service Desk as we may be able to offer other solutions.

Please Note: You must be the owner of the video to access the options in this guide. If you are not sure who the owner is, please contact your school Change Owner or Timetabling contact.
