Sonic Foundry will be performing maintenance on Mediasite Cloud Servers during the scheduled maintenance window on March 16th between 1:01AM EST and 5:00AM EST.

During this time, search based catalogs (which includes the majority of lecture capture classes), may show no content. This is temporary and the presentations will automatically re-appear when the process is complete. This process is scheduled to take a several hours and should be completed by 6AM 1/31/2019

[RESOLVED] Mediasite Service Disruption
Cloud services have been restored, and at this time we do not anticipate any further disruptions
Restoration of the services did require restoring from a prior database backup for the site. You may need to re-publish MDR recordings made in the last 48 hours that are missing.
If you notice any missing lecture capture presentations please submit a ticket at: https://helpdesk.fau.edu/TDClient/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=4432
We apologize for the disruptions
