“Mediasite Mosaic is an essential tool for schools and organizations in this new digital-first reality, allowing anyone to instantly communicate effectively with video,” said Michael Norregaard, CEO, Sonic Foundry, the maker of Mediasite. “Schools from primary to collegiate levels are strategically planning for a fall semester and beyond that likely combines both distance learning and socially-distanced classrooms. At the same time, organizations continue to navigate how to keep remote employees connected. They need tools that can easily capture and share the valuable teaching, learning and training happening across distances, and we are excited they can use Mediasite Mosaic to achieve their goals.”

More than 1,500 users are already creating content with Mediasite Mosaic on macOS Catalina, contributing to the massive year-over year increase of Mediasite. Since the start of social distancing and quarantine in March, the usage increase includes:

  • 123 percent increase in videos created
  • 109 percent increase in live sessions
  • 83 percent increase in views

Manage Zoom and collaborative recordings

Mediasite Mosaic is more than just video capture. It’s a robust tool to manage content created with other systems, too. As everyone communicates from their home offices around the world, they’re using different tools to stay connected – Mediasite, Zoom, WebEx, Teams, LMSs, etc. Mosaic monitors when new content is being created locally on a user’s device, giving them the option to automatically upload their meeting recordings, corporate communications, trainings and classroom discussions created with other tools to Mediasite.

This allows users to manage all of their valuable videos in one secure, searchable place and extends the full functionality of Mediasite to all their content – accessibility tools like closed captioning and transcription capabilities, robust search, video and caption editing tools, anytime and anywhere publishing, interactivity options to track viewer engagement and back-end analytics.

The easy video capture capabilities of Mediasite Mosaic combined with its ability to upload and manage conference calls will enable even more collaboration at schools and organizations like Dell, which has been using Mediasite’s personal capture software to power its private, secure video channel, DellTV.

“Mediasite lets employees from around the world create and search videos and stay connected. It’s exciting to think about how the new Mediasite Mosaic app could help us create videos even faster,” said Lawrence Grafton, DellTV creator, Dell. “Mediasite enables employees from wherever they are, especially right now as we’re all working remotely, to continue communicating with video. They’re creating videos right from their personal devices and sharing them in easily searchable catalogues, all using Mediasite. Our sales team is talking to marketing, engineering is collaborating with the training department, and everyone from individual team leads to company executives are excited to hit record and connect with each other. The silver lining right now is that people are getting comfortable with using video and we expect use to continue to grow.”

Scale video initiatives quickly with latest hardware updates

Mediasite is also unveiling updates to its suite of video capture appliances. The updates, available this summer, will help users scale their video initiatives quickly and cost-effectively by reducing storage and bandwidth requirements while improving quality. Increased efficiency of encoding allows users to increase video quality while drastically reducing the size of the files. Smaller file sizes also allows users to upload videos quicker and viewers to play them back faster, a critical component to video communications in this new digital-first reality.

Trusted by 5,200 educational institutions, corporations, health organizations and government entities in 65 countries, the Mediasite video content management and webcasting system quickly and cost-effectively automates the capture, management, delivery and search of live and on-demand videos.
