Mediasite Player allows you to view live, on-demand, or portable presentations—including synchronized support
materials such as slide images—using your Web browser. A live presentation is one that is broadcast while it is
being recorded. You can join a live presentation before it begins or after it has already started. An on-demand presentation
is one that is played-back any time after it has been recorded. A portable presentation is a recorded presentation
that is self-contained and can be played back from your local hard drive or a CD.
Watching a presentation using Mediasite Player is virtually the same as being in the room with the presenter. The
presentation begins playing automatically when you open Mediasite Player. The Mediasite Player window includes separate
controls for the video and slide show portions of a presentation.
This help file discusses Mediasite Player requirements and provides instructions for setting Player options
and using the Player controls to navigate and view a presentation's video and slides, and display
presentation details, closed-captions, and links.
Embeddable players
Players using the Silverlight - Picture-in-Picture and Silverlight - Video Only layouts are
intended to be used as embedded players. Embedded players have the following properties:
- They always stretch to fit the size of the window.
- Embedded players have a Pop Out button that when clicked launches the presentation in a new window using the full screen Player layout. Typically, embedded players will occupy a smaller on-screen footprint on the web page in which it is embedded. This affects the clarity of presentation playback so being able to watch a presentation in a full screen view is helpful. However, in full-screen mode keyboard commands are limited and the pop-out (tear-off) mode provides an alternative to the full screen playback.
- A presentation using an embedded Player layout should always be watched in the page where it is embedded. Using the presentation link to watch the presentation will significantly affect the playback experience because the presentation will try to stretch to fit the window.
- The share presentation button is not displayed for embedded players since they will be embedded in a web page and direct links to the presentations using embedded players are not recommended.

Embed code
The embed code for a presentation using an embedded Silverlight Player
is as follows:
<div style="text-align:center;"> <iframe src="http://mymediasiteserver/mymediasite/Viewer/?peid=some presentation_id" frameborder="0" width="400" scrolling="no" height="224"></iframe> </div>
Notes:
- You can modify the width and height settings to whatever makes sense for the
page into which you are embedding the presentation.
- You need to adjust the URL to match your server (indicated as “mymediasiteserver”),
Mediasite virtual directory (indicated as mymediasite) and presentation id (indicated as “presentation_id”).
