1.2.  To start the broadcast, click the Record button (Fig. 2a). Viewers will now be able to watch your presentation. To end the live broadcast, click the Stop button (Fig 2b). Your recording will then complete and finish uploading to your Panopto site where it will be available on-demand.

1.3.  Optional step - A viewer URL is generated after your broadcast starts. This URL can be shared through the web user interface by clicking Share. Clicking Copy will copy the URL to your Windows clipboard (Fig. 3).

1.4.  Users may log into the Panopto website to view any live broadcasts that may be available at that time.

Note: Students will be able to find the live webcasts in D2L with the rest of the course recordings.

1.4.a. To do this, go to your Panopto site and click the live session that you would like to watch. If access to the content is restricted to certain viewers, they will need to log in with their credentials.  You can determine which sessions are broadcasting live because the icon will look like the following (Fig. 4a). On the Panopto homepage, live webcasts appear under What's New (Fig. 4b). The viewer can click on the session, and a viewer window will open just as it would if the video had been previously recorded.

1.5.  A viewer can easily seek through, pause, or drag the circle slider using the toolbar at the bottom of the video. In addition, a user can catch up to the most recent content by selecting the LIVE button (Fig. 5). They may also continue to watch the live broadcast even after it has ended. Note: there is approximately a 40 second delay between what the presenter is showing and what the viewer sees.
