Step 1: Turn Editing On

Using Google Chrome navigate to Online Campus, and Turn Editing On under the Course Administration panel.

Step 2: Determine New Content Location

Find the desired media resource, click Edit, then Edit Settings. If not, click the plus button at the desired location to add an activity or resource. From there, navigate to Resources, select Media, then Add.

Step 3: Click Panopto Icon

On the updating page, add a title then click the Panopto icon under the content section.

Step 4: Confirm Folder

Verify the appropriate Panopto destination folder in the drop down. This should be the course folder and NOT your personal "My folder" in Panopto.

Step 5: Prepare to Record

Select the Record tab, then select Capture. This will automatically launch the Panopto Web Recorder in a separate tab. If prompted, allow Panopto to access your camera and microphone.

Step 6: Edit Settings

Click the gear at the bottom-right of the screen. Select HD under Recording Options.

Step 7: Confirm Audio Aettings

Click Audio and choose the appropriate microphone you wish to use. Say a few lines of dialogue to confirm Panopto is capturing audio. To ensure proper audio levels, the monitor bar should not peak yellow or red.

Step 8: Confirm Video Settings

Click Video and choose the appropriate camera. You can choose multiple cameras if desired.

Step 9: Confirm Shared Screen Settings

If you wish to share a screen, for example to show a computer demo or lecture slides, click the Screen and Apps menu. This allows you to share your entire screen, a Specific Application window, or Chrome Tab. Click the desired option and then select Share.

Step 10: Record

Once the desired settings are confirmed, click the record button. After a 5 second countdown, recording will begin automatically.

Step 11: Edit Details

Once your lecture is complete, navigate back to the Panopto Capture screen and click the stop button to stop recording. The site will refresh to a media upload page where you can rename the recording, add it to a specific folder, and add a description.

Step 12: Edit and Finish

After the upload is complete, the video will appear in the folder chosen on your Panopto account. If desired, clicking the edit button will launch the Panopto Edit Suite, where the recording can be edited and other playback features can be added.
