Creating a Recording:

1. The recorder will launch and you will need to decide what you will be recording for this presentation and where it will be published:

   1. To the right of the Folder Name field at the top you will see a large drop down arrow. Click on the arrow and choose the assignments folder for your class.

   2. For “Name:” enter a title for your recording.  Your instructor will most likely provide instructions and ask you to include your First and Last Name.

   3. Choose the Video Source you would like to record as the primary source (i.e. webcam). You will see a live preview in the box of the video that will be recorded.

   4. Determine what Audio Source you would like to record for viewers to hear (i.e. microphone). You can test the audio by speaking into the microphone and see if the audio levels move.

   5. Choose the secondary capture sources (i.e. Main Screen or a PowerPoint).
      
      

      

2. Click the large RECORD button to begin your recording. Once you are done, return to this screen and click either PAUSE (to pause the recording and have the ability to resume) or STOP (to end the recording).

3. Once everything has been recorded and you have stopped your recording, you will be taken to the recording status page. If you forgot to name the session before you began recording, you can update the Session name to be more than the date and time from this screen.  Include your name and or the topic of the session. Then click Upload. 

   

4. The recording should automatically upload to the server.  If it does not, click on the “Upload to Server” option.
   
   

   

5. The following screen will appear. When the upload is complete, exit this screen.
   
   

   

 You will be able to see the video you recorded in the Panopto Recordings Assignments folder for that course.
