Resolution
Effective August 18th, 2025, all recordings stored on Mediasite will be subject to a retention period of two (2) years from the last date a video was viewed.
Mediasite videos which have not been viewed in two (2) years, regardless of video age, will be flagged for a deletion review process, which coincides with the next annual Blackboard course deletion date. Upon annual Blackboard course deletion, flagged recordings will be permanently deleted.
Once recordings are permanently deleted, they cannot be retrieved.
If you would like to retrieve or relocate any Mediasite recordings prior to permanent deletion, please utilize the following articles:
