Mediasite Recorder Configuration (v7.1.14)

For a Mediasite deployment to be fully compliant with TLS 1.2, the Recorders must be running Mediasite Recorder software 7.5+ and configured to use TLS 1.2.
If you are unable to upgrade your Recorder, the steps below can be used to enable support for TLS 1.2.
Upgrade to Recorder 7.1.14
Ensure that your Recorder is running the latest version of Recorder software. If it doesn’t support Recorder 7.5 or above, please make sure you upgrade to the latest version of 7.1.14
Please note, Recorders must run the XXXXXX image in order to upgrade to 7.1.14 Build XXXXXX.
Recorder restore images are available here.
Enable Windows Explorer Shell
To perform the following administrative tasks, you must temporarily enable the Windows GUI through the internal settings of the Recorder software.
If you are unsure how to do this, please open a Case with Mediasite Support.
Configure WinHTTP to use TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2
