4 Mediasite Join in a Nutshell Mediasite Join uses your existing web or video conferencing system to capture audio, video, and screen sharing content, and automatically assembles it into a usable, sharable, searchable video that can be played on any device. HOW IT WORKS Let s say you have a video conference with participants in three different locations, in addition to content from a slide presentation. 1 Whoever initiates the video call can invite Join to the call string just as if it were any other participant. 2 Join sits in on your meeting like a silent participant while it records everything: audio, multiple video streams, as well as any slide content or shared screens. 3 4 Join automatically assembles the recordings into a single, comprehensive video and saves it to a designated Mediasite folder so that it is readily accessible immediately after the meeting. The video can then be viewed, shared, searched, and even edited to include engagement pieces like quizzes and trainings. SEE JOIN IN ACTION! Watch a sample Join recording 4

11 Integrating Join You have two integration options, and both deliver the same high level of quality: USE JOIN AS A HOSTED SERVICE IN MEDIASITE VIDEO CLOUD. There s no installation of equipment. For most customers, the service option works great. USE JOIN AS AN APPLIANCE. That means we do an on-premises installation of an actual piece of hardware that has your server OS and the Join software on it. This can work better for healthcare systems and certain corporations that have more stringent privacy requirements. PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY Good news: it doesn t matter what platform you re on or how old your system is. Join simply records in the standard video codecs, i.e., H.323, H.239, and SIP. So, even if your system is older as long as it supports those three standards you should be able to use it with no problems.

12 Mediasite Join in Action ACHIEVING NEW LEVELS OF SUCCESS WITH VIDEO How does Mediasite Join revolutionize video for real life customers? MEDIASITE JOIN HAS BEEN VERY EASY TO IMPLEMENT AND INTRODUCE TO FACULTY, AND THERE IS A GREAT DEMAND FOR IT. APRIL HANSON, VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, WESTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY IT Two universities immediately come to mind: University of Florida and Western New Mexico University. They were already using video or web conferencing for classroom scenarios that involved both a primary location as well as satellite locations. In both cases, Mediasite Join enabled them to leverage their existing video infrastructure to create a better learning experience for students. WNMU relies heavily on video and web conferencing for instruction due to its multiple rural satellite campuses. The university has been using Mediasite since 2010 and added Join to its suite of solutions in Faculty have reported improvements in student pass rates since implementing Mediasite Join. Along with that, the university has benefitted from the ease of integrating it into its existing video-conferencing systems. No matter where WNMU students are, Join enables them to benefit from a state-of-the-art technology that promotes better learning outcomes.

It records high-profile campus events and faculty meetings occurring within its large agriculture and health colleges, which have satellite offices around the state. Faculty can t always attend meetings, and some don t have the necessary video conference equipment to dial in remotely, so Join records the meetings for people to watch when it s convenient.

13 Mediasite Join vs. Built-In Video Conference Capture Capabilities Sure, the capture capability that you have from your provider is an option. However, it s not a solution for creating unified, easily accessible, highly useful video content. And here s why: Join Mediasite Join Built-In Capture With most built-in capture tools, you re likely going to be left with a large video file that s way more cumbersome than it is useful. ing it doesn t work well, and even putting it up on your network drive has its problems. On top of that, the video itself will be limited in what it presents. So, let s say you had a collaborative, highly informative meeting involving three locations, numerous attendees and slide presentation content. Your basic recording option will probably only capture audio and screen-share content. In other words, a lot of great detail will be missed. GET A COMPREHENSIVE CAPTURE & MORE USEFUL CONTENT WITH MEDIASITE JOIN With Join rather than a stripped-down version of a meeting, discussion or lecture you can have a comprehensive record of what happened. You get a recording of the audio, the various camera feeds, and any content that s shared. And just to be clear, Join lets you deliver the same video experience to mobile, laptop, and desktop users. Accessible File Management? Multiple Video & Audio Feeds + Screen Capture Engagement Features? SmartSearch & Navigation? Mobile friendly?? 13

14 The value of using Join Video has consistently proven to be a profound tool for teaching and learning. Along with that, the need and expectation for high-quality, interactive ondemand video continues to grow. Join empowers you to take video content and transform it into a vital resource that s easily accessible to users. WANT TO KNOW MORE? Watch this webinar on the benefits of Join 14
