There are many instances where you may want to share a Mediasite presentation with a specific individual or group only (eg. a student misses class due to illness, academic accommodation purposes, small group projects, etc.). To do this, you need to apply a permission setting called "Only Shared" users, which offers a permission setting between private and visible to all university users.
1. Open a new internet browser window and navigate to Villanova's MyMediasite portal: https://vums-web.villanova.edu/mediasite/mymediasite/
2. Log in to your MyMediasite account via Villanova's single sign-on by entering your Villanova email and current password.
3. From your list of available presentations, select the one you would like to share by single-clicking on its title.
4. Next, move the “Who Can View?” slider bar on the right hand side of the page to “Only Shared Users” so that the presentation is only viewable by you and the user(s) you will manually select in Step 6.
5. Next, click on the Share Presentation button under the “Who Can View?” slider bar.
6. When the Share Presentation pop-up window appears, type in and then single-click on the name(s) of the Villanova user(s) with whom you would like to share your presentation via the Invite by Email Address or Name search field.
NOTE: If you cannot find a user’s name, the user either: 1. Entered their name into the Mediasite system using an honorific/title or nickname (e.g Dr. Nick) and Mediasite’s exact keyword search is unable to locate them. 2. Does not have a Villanova Mediasite account yet – if this is the case, please direct your user to our step-by-step guide: '
Mediasite: Create your MyMediasite Account'.
7. Click anywhere on a user’s email address to add them as a “Shared User” with special permission to view your presentation.
8. After you have successfully selected each user you will be sharing your presentation with, their names will appear in a list underneath the Invite by Email Address or Name search field. When you’re ready to share, click the “Send Invite” button.
9. Mediasite will now send an automated email from user@villanova.mediasite.com, using the subject line “[EXTERNAL] You've been invited to watch Presentation Title”, to each of your designated Shared Users, including a direct link to your presentation.
NOTE: Some users may ignore or delete emails from accounts they don’t recognize – if your recipients miss the automated Mediasite email inviting them to view your presentation, take the secondary steps to manually share your presentation link using our step-by-step guide: '
Mediasite: Share a presentation'.
