Introducing Mediasite Recorder Express: Scalable Lecture Capture for Every Room

We’re excited to announce the release of Mediasite Recorder Express, our newest video capture solution designed to help institutions scale lecture capture across campus — no additional AV hardware required. 

Why Recorder Express? 

As institutions expand their hybrid learning strategies and scale video capture, they often face budget and infrastructure limitations. Traditional hardware recorders are powerful, but they aren’t always the right fit for lower-tech rooms or smaller budgets. 
 
Recorder Express fills that gap. It transforms existing PCs into automated, scheduled recorders — making it easier than ever to bring more rooms online without sacrificing quality or control. 

Key Features 

One-Click Recording 

Presenters can walk into the room, deliver their lecture or presentation, and Recorder Express takes care of the rest. With scheduled or manual recording options, instructors don’t need to worry about complex setup — they simply present and go. 

Scheduled or Manual Capture 

Recorder Express supports both fully automated scheduled recordings and manual start/stop — giving you flexibility for any classroom scenario. It uses the same Mediasite scheduling system as your existing hardware recorders, so there’s no new workflow to learn and no extra configuration required. 

Live or On-Demand 

Choose to stream live for real-time engagement or publish recordings on-demand for flexible viewing. Recorder Express supports both delivery modes to fit your teaching or communication style. 

In-Room PC Integration 

Designed to run on existing Windows 11 in-room PCs, Recorder Express eliminates the need for additional AV hardware. This makes it a cost-effective way to expand capture capabilities across campus. 

Centralized Management 

Mediasite Administrators can remotely monitor Recorder Express devices across campus using Mediasite Monitor. Easily track the health, status, and performance of all recorders from one dashboard. 

One Platform. Multiple Capture Options. Total Flexibility. 

Mediasite Recorder Express is the latest addition to Mediasite’s suite of powerful video capture tools — designed to give organizations the flexibility to record anywhere, with the tools they already have. 

Together, these tools create a seamless, scalable capture ecosystem. They all feed content into the Mediasite Video Platform, where recordings are published, managed, and made accessible — live or on-demand. 

Ready to Get Started? 

Whether you’re looking to expand your current Mediasite deployment or begin capturing in more classrooms, Recorder Express makes it easier and more scalable than ever.
