Upload Recordings to Announcements through Panopto When you want to upload a video or audio file to Panopto through Canvas, the first thing you want to do is navigate to the section where you want to show the media in your course, such as “Announcements”. Open up the rich text editor and select the green Panopto Video Library button.

Once the Panopto Video Library window opens, select the "Upload" tab

With the Upload tab open, you are able to drag your video/audio file into the area inside the dashed line box or you can click on the "Choose Video or Audio Files" icon and you will be prompted to upload a file. A good example of a media file you could upload is a recording of a zoom meeting.

Select the video or audio file on your computer then hit the "open" or "ok" button.

The video will begin uploading, once the upload is complete hit the blue "insert" button at the bottom of the window.

The video will be embedded into the rich text editor.

Once the media is done processing you will see a preview image.

Once your media appears in the announcement editor add the title of the announcement. Then choose all desired sections to post to all the students in your course. Select your options, then

click “Save” to post your announcement.

Anything you upload to your course through panopto will be available to insert from the "Choose" window after selecting the green panopto button.

Recording an Announcement with Panopto Go to “Announcements” in your course site, click “Announcement,” and you should land in the Announcement editor.

Click the “Panopto Video Library” button.

Panopto Video Library window will popup. Go to the “Record” tab.

Enter the lecture title, and then hit the “Record” button, which should prompt the launch of the Panopto Recorder.

If you don't have a Panopto recorder on your computer, please follow the instructions. Please follow the on-screen directions (may appear differently depending on your computer/operating system) to download and install or open the Panopto Recorder.

Once you have gone through the on-screen instructions, Panopto will have been installed on

your computer.

Installing Panopto on a PC (video) Recording Once you are in the Panopto Recorder, you’ll see this “Record A Session” window in which you could choose your primary source and secondary sources. Use the drop-down menu to choose the desired sources. This is especially important if you are using a microphone other than the built-in one on your computer; you need to select the plugged in microphone as the audio source for it to be recorded.

IMPORTANT! In order for your PowerPoint slideshow to be properly recorded, please make sure you check “Record PowerPoint.”

Click “Record” to start your recording, and “Stop” when you are finished. A window should pop up to confirm that the recording is complete. Enter the session name (ie. lecture title) and click “Upload.” If you are not satisfied with the recording and wish to redo, click “Delete and record again.”

If you click “Delete and record again,” another message will pop up and ask you to confirm the deletion. Once you choose to delete, you will be brought back to the recording screen again and you can then start a new recording.

After you click “Upload” for your recording, a window will show the progress of the uploading and processing of your video.

Once your recording is complete, you can exit the window/Panopto Recorder, and go back to your Canvas page. You should see something like this:

Click “Insert” and you should see the video placed in the editor. Don’t be alarmed if you see a message like “the video is not ready yet.” It just means Panopto is still processing the video. You can go ahead and save and publish your Announcement as usual. Your students will then be able to watch the embedded video on the Announcement page.

Once your video appears in the announcement editor add the title of the announcement. Then choose all desired sections to post to all the students in your course. Select your options, then click “Save” to post your announcement.

Installing Panopto If it’s your first time using Panopto, this will prompt the download of the installer. Select either the Mac or Windows Installer based on your system.

Follow the Installer’s instructions and have Panopto installed on your computer.

Launching Panopto To launch Panopto, you can navigate to your "Instructor Recordings" folder on your web browser.

Go to the top of the screen and click the “Create” button, and then select “Record a new session.”

This should prompt the launch of the Panopto Recorder on your computer once you click “Open Panopto.”

When you open Panopto on your computer, it may ask you to sign in with your Canvas login and/or for permission to access the microphone and camera you have connected to your computer. Please sign in, and allow for microphone and camera access.

For Mac, you may be asked to give it permission to record your screen. To allow this, go to Settings, then Security and Privacy, and make sure Panopto is selected.

Recording with Panopto Once the Panopto Recorder is launched, please make sure the folder section says "Instructor Recordings."

If not, please use the dropdown menu to find it, or type “Instructors Recordings.”

Make sure to change the primary video source and audio inputs to the equipment you will be using (ie webcam & microphone).

The secondary source will most likely be your slides. To record your slides, please make sure your PowerPoint is in Presentation Mode. Below are specific settings and screenshots from PC and Mac machines for your reference.

The sliders below the desktop preview window (fps/kbps) should be 30 fps and 5000 kbps.

Click Custom Settings, then select Capture PowerPoint, and Capture Main Screen

Match your settings to the following:

● Maximum video bitrate: 5000 (kbps) ● Audio bitrate: 128 (kbps) ● Maximum resolution: 1080p ● Video quality levels: 5

Click “Basic Settings,” then select:

● Automatically upload recording logs

PC Audio Settings The Panopto software client should retain settings so that you don't have to check them with each launch. However, when audio devices are disconnected and reconnected, that can reset the audio input settings. It’s a good idea to double check the audio input--it ensures the correct microphone is selected before recording.

You will also want to take a look at the volume leveling slider--if the meter is consistently displaying red, you may want to reduce that to 60-70%.

MAC Settings Select Panopto from the top display bar, then from the drop-down select “Preferences”

Change the "Primary Video Quality" and "Secondary Video Quality" settings to Ultra (resolution). Change the Local Recording folder to a folder on your desktop. Then hit "OK."

Once you are back to the Panopto interface, please make sure under “slides,” you check “Record PowerPoint.”

Double check that in the Audio dropdown menu, you have selected the USB lavalier microphone plugged into your computer.

Video-Screen Capture If you would like to record your computer screen to demonstrate how something works (software, websites, etc) you can do that directly in the Panopto Recorder.

1. Make sure you zoom into the workspace you want to record as much as possible without it getting pixelated or distorted

2. Then go back to your Panopto Recorder and

3. In Secondary Sources,

a. Choose the computer monitor on which your workspace is as the source.

4. If you do not know the name of the monitor, toggle through the drop-down menu until the workspace that you wish to capture appears on the preview.

Tips: Rehearse the actions a few times before you actually start recording so it feels smooth and natural for you. You may want to write down all the steps on the side as a cheat sheet to guide you throughout the process.

Test Recording, Recommendations and Support Once you have everything setup, feel free to do your test recording.

● You can delete your test recording and record your lecture. ● Please let us know if you have any support

○ [email protected] and [email protected] ● Also submit a photo of your recording layout and/or screenshots of the settings on your

machine for future needs. We will then review your settings to provide further suggestions, and determine the best approach to creating your course media. Our goal is to provide you with the best support and create the best quality media with you.

Recording Setup Recommendations For recording we recommend:

● If you have existing equipment such as webcam and mic headset, feel free to use during your recording

● Please make sure your computer is plugged into a power outlet instead of using a battery while recording.

Audio Microphone Placement

● Please avoid wearing jewelry that could come in contact with the microphone

● Make sure that the microphone does not come in contact with any fabric

○ This could create extra noises in the recording that cannot be edited out

Delivery Please leave a few quiet seconds at the beginning and end of the recording. It is okay to click the “Pause” button whenever you need to and continue recording.

Camera Placement

● The camera should be placed slightly above eye level

○ Angling too high up or far down will throw the audience off.

● The camera should be in landscape (horizontal) orientation, not portrait (vertical), since that’s what the final output will be.

● The framing should be between waist-up and chest-up (see reference photos below), any closer or wider can appear awkward or cause inconveniences when you record.
