Search Within a Video

In many cases you may want to find a specific topic or part of a video or lecture. Within a Mediasite video, it’s possible to search for a keyword that may have been used on the slides or audio captions of the presentation.

Searching within a video will only work if search has been turned on by an administrator, and captions or optical character recognition (OCR) has been enabled. When a video is playing the search icon will appear on the playback tool bar.

1. Start playing a video
2. Click on the Search icon 
3. Enter the keyword you would like to search for
4. Mediasite will display the results of the search
5. Click on any of the results to skip to that part of the video
