The Mediasite player detects that you are using an iPhone or iPod device and redirects you to the Mediasite app to view your presentation. If you have not downloaded the Mediasite app, you will be directed to the Apple store to download the Mediasite app. After you have used the app, a list containing recently viewed presentations will be visible along with a link to Sonic Foundry’s homepage.

For the iPad, Android and BlackBerry devices, connect to a wireless or cellular connection. Open a browser and click on the presentation link. The presentation will automatically detect your device and begin loading.
