There are a couple ways to do it. The first is the easiest, and works in later versions of the Mediasite Player: for presentations that have the share button enabled (looks like an envelope), just pause the presentation where you want it to start playing from, click on the share button and check the box that says "Start Time," then send. The presentation will automatically start playing from that point. The second is for earlier versions and requires a wee bit of math: navigate to your chosen slide, pause and then determine the play back time in milliseconds. So for your example, Slide 10 begins at 5 minutes 51 seconds into the presentation, which equals 351,000 milliseconds. <a href="http://sofo.com/01ea5" rel="nofollow">Here's a calculator site that helps</a>. Then you append this bit of code to the end of the presentation URL: &playfrom=351000. For your example, it looks like this: http://atsvid.uthscsa.edu/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=13a51ae5f17f4b449f3e878035c9e63f&playfrom=351000 Happy bookmarking! P.S. You can also go in and add chapters to a presentation once it is captured. Another great way to navigate, but we'll save that for a future post. Yes! There are a couple ways to do it.

I was at UNLEASH and found the entire conference very informative. I think it's great that you can make an embedded-player graphic an active URL link. This, I think, gives producers more options when developing presentations. Thanks for the tip, John! I was at UNLEASH and found the entire conference very informative.

Also, keep in mind that regardless of whether someone shares a link, it is always protected by your <a href="http://www.sonicfoundry.com/mediasite/security/?sm=4" rel="nofollow">security </a>model. That is, if you have set up permissions to limit the audience of that presentation, only those allowed will be able to see it - even if someone else gets the link. You're safe whether that share icon is available or not. I hope this helps! John Hi Raphael,

Another link trick is that you can also link from the presenter's name to a bio or other webpage to see more about them. This is a feature in the presenter's page when you edit it called "Bio URL". We used that on a public webinar in September 2009 here: http://media.qad.com/qad/Viewer/?peid=68d504e1dbfd44119bc5abfd277bfef5 Scott Lawson, QAD, Inc Good tip!
