Panopto Lecture-Capture System Users GuideInstallation: Your Panopto administrator will send you a secure (https) link so that you can download and install the Panopto recorder on to a computer on which you have administrative privileges. The process should take less than 10 minutes. Your Panopto administrator will create a Panopto account for you, and will provide you with your user name and password, which you will need in order to access and download the recorder, and which you will need every time you log on to the Panopto recorder. The installation is very user friendly and will usually only require you to agree to the terms of use and to follow the process until it is complete and the recorder icon is placed on your desktop. Capturing a Lecture: SETTING UP When you have logged on to Panopto make sure the video source (camera) you plan to use is selected.

Make sure the audio source (microphone) you plan to use in selected. If you want to record a PowerPoint lecture make sure the Capture PowerPoint box is checked. If you want to capture everything on your screen, be sure the Capture Screen box is checked. Suggestion: If you are recording a PowerPoint lecture you may not need to check the Capture Screen box. Beginning the Capture Click on the PowerPoint folder tab Click on Open a Presentation Browse and select the desired PowerPoint presentation you want to capture Open the PowerPoint file. (You will be asked: Begin recording after PowerPoint opens? You must select Yes or No). If you select Yes the PowerPoint file will open and the recorder will automatically start.
