Slideshow, screencast, audio and video - what do they mean?

In Mediasite Desktop Recorder, you can produce recordings in the following modes:

  • Audio only
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record audio only
    Records only the feed from your microphone. This could be used to create podcasts.
  • Slideshow & Audio ** preferred format
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record slideshow + audio
    Records audio from your microphone, as well as an area of your screen (taken as a series of static images). This is ideal for a PowerPoint presentation, but can also be used for any situation that doesn't involve on-screen video content.
    When uploaded to the server, any text in the screen images is automatically made searchable, which adds functionality and accessibility for viewers.
  • Screencast & Audio
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record screencast + audio
    This is similar to Slideshow & Audio, however instead of taking static images, your screen is recorded as a continuous video. This should only be used if you have video content in your presentation, as it provides less functionality to the viewer than Slideshow & Audio.
  • Video only
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record video only
    Records only a camera feed, e.g. from your webcam, and audio from your microphone.
  • Slideshow & Video ** preferred format
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record slideshow + video
    Records a camera feed, e.g. from your webcam, and audio from your microphone as you deliver the presentation, as well as a series of static images from your screen.
    When uploaded to the server, any text in the screen images is automatically made searchable, which adds functionality and accessibility for viewers.
  • Screencast & Video
    Mediasite Desktop Recorder button - record screencast + video
    This is similar to Slideshow & Video, however instead of taking static images, your screen is recorded as a continuous video. This should only be used if your presentation contains video content, as it offers fewer features to the viewer than Slideshow & Video.
