Stop Recording Button

When you have finished recording, a pop-up window will allow you to rename the session if you haven’t already, and then Upload the recording to the Panopto server. After you press Upload, a screen will show the status of the recordings.  As the recording is being transferred to the server, you can preview the recording in the "Preview" area if "Audio," "Video," or "Screen Capture" was recorded.  If the preview was not sufficient, you could choose to "Pause Upload" to pause the upload of the files to the server.  The "Actions" button has two options; "Show Files" or "Delete" (will show or delete the local files in the Panopto Recordings directory).  Panopto Support offers more detailed information on the recording status.
