If you have disabled podcasts on your site, you will not have access to this functionality.
Step 1
Locate the session that you would like to change podcast outputs for, hover over the session name and click “Settings”:
Step 2.
Now that we are on the overview page, click “Outputs”
Step 3.
On the outputs page, we want to scroll down to the “Video Podcast” section of this tab. Click the top drop down menu and select the desired output from the “Type” menu.
Before we begin the podcast type overview, it is important to note that there is a server setting, PodcastSlideDisplayIntervalSeconds: This setting controls how long a powerpoint slide can remain inactive until the view will revert back to the primary feed. The default setting for this is 60.
Please note you can also set the default podcast type globally on your system settings page using the “DefaultPodcastType” All new podcasts will be generated using this format.
1.) Mixed Video (On version 4.1, this has since been removed in 4.2)
This format will display the primary source first, and alternative between secondary sources when activity is detected. In other words, advancing a powerpoint slide will revert the view back to the slide. After the designated period of inactivity, the view will switch back to the primary feed until a change is detected on powerpoint.
2.) Primary Video Only
Formatting to this selection will only display the primary video source of your session. If this podcast mode is selected, the output will use the input resolution instead of the specified podcast resolution (as detailed in the next section in the “quality” information for the podcast.)
3.) Secondary Video Only
Formatting to this selection will only display the secondary video source of your session.
4.) Picture in Picture
This format will always display the primary video feed in the bottom right corner of the podcast, displaying the screen capture feed as the main view of this session. The primary view, unlike Mixed video, will not switch back and forth after 60 seconds of slide inactivity.
5.) Side by Side
Side by side plays a stream in the primary view of the podcast, with a separate feed in the top right of the view. Screen capture will take precedence over the primary video source as the main feed available. it is similar to the picture in picture view.
6.)Tile All Streams
The preferred podcast type for viewing on iOS devices. Tile All Streams does *not* show powerpoint slides. However, the view will accept and display up to three other secondary sources at once. This podcast feature adapts to the current amount of streams available. For instance, one feed will take up the entire window. Two video sources will split the view in half, with one stream on each side. Adding a third source will yet again split the view so that all three are spread evenly, and likewise, a fourth stream will completely fill the window.
Step 5.)
Click the bottom drop down menu and select the desired quality.
