Mediasite Media Player
This plugin automatically recognises Mediasite presentation URLs and converts them into an embedded video.
Description
When teachers insert Mediasite links into their courses, the plugin automatically converts these URLs into HTML iframe embed code, providing a native viewing experience without requiring students to navigate away from Moodle. In case of SSO or other HTML iframe security issues, a direct link to the video is displayed below the video.
For users with the Teacher role, the plugin also gives a warning if the video is marked as "Private" in Mediasite. This is an optional feature that requires access to the Mediasite API.
