Panopto - How to Record a Video using Panopto for Windows
This guide is intended for instructors that want to record their presentation directly to a specific Panopto folder or D2L course. Start a Recording Open Panopto from the icon on your desktop or taskbar. Sign in using your DMU username and password. Click Sign in. Confirm your settings. On the AV computers in the classrooms you will use the following settings. Video: Select any available video device, or select None to not record with a camera. Audio: This setting varies depending on the room or devices. Select a device and then speak or tap on the mic to see if the audio meter bounces in the recorder. If it does, you’ve selected the correct device. Quality: Standard Capture Computer Audio: If you are not recording in a classroom this setting should be checked. If you are recording in a classroom, some of the renovated classrooms do not require this to be checked to capture sound playing from the computer. Please find the in-classroom instructions that indicate if this setting should be on or off. Or verify if the setting should be on by playing a video or sound file and check the audio meter in the recorder to see if it bounces. Capture PowerPoint: Checked (if recording a PowerPoint) Capture Main Screen: Checked* * Important: If you have multiple monitors you may need to check a different Screen. Check the "Enable screen capture preview" box to preview the screen you selected. If you are using presentation mode for PowerPoint, make sure you're capturing the screen that has the full screen presentation on it. Choose the folder where you would like your recording to be stored. Can’t find your course folder? Look for a folder called Active Courses. It will be grayed out, but you can still click the triangle to see courses inside it. If it’s not under Active Courses it may still need to be provisioned in D2L. If you have time, see the guide on how to provision a D2L course for Panopto. Otherwise, record to your My Folder, but check with your academic assistant or the Solutions Hub afterward to ensure the course was provisioned properly. Once provisioned your recording can be moved from your My Folder to the appropriate course folder. Replace the date and time with the name of the recording. We recommend using the title of the presentation and the name of the presenter. Example: Intro to Med Pharm – Dr. Henry. If you are starting your presentation with a PowerPoint click on the PowerPoint tab. Click Open a Presentation and browse to your PowerPoint. Choose Yes to start your recording when the PowerPoint opens. Otherwise click Record. Give your presentation like normal. Everything you do on the computer will get recorded. Stop a Recording When finished, click on the Panopto icon on the taskbar to pull up the recorder. Click on the Stop button. Check your session name one more time to make sure it is accurate. If not, you may change it here. Click Upload. Your recording will be uploaded to Panopto and available to share or edit within 10-15 minutes, depending on the length of the recording.

Panopto - How to Edit (Trim) a Video
In this article, you will learn how to trim a video in Panopto. Looking for a different editing function? See the links below for additional functions that can be done within the Panopto Editor. How to Insert a Clip from Another Panopto Video How to Add Automatic Captions How to Embed a Quiz into a Panopto Video To trim out parts of a Panopto video, sign into https://dmu.hosted.panopto.com using your normal DMU or D2L credentials. Then locate your video, hover over the thumbnail, select the 3 dots and click Edit (Or the Edit Icon at the top right when viewing a video). Once you’re in the editor, follow these steps: Locate the timeline below the preview window. When you press play, you will see the red vertical bar move along the timeline. If you are trimming the start of your video, play the video and pause it at the point that you want the video to start. Select the cut tool. Click and drag the gray line at the start of the timeline, to the red bar. The gray line will snap into position with the red bar to allow you to be more precise with your cuts. The same process can be repeated to trim the end of the video. You can also trim out sections in the middle of a video by clicking and dragging in the middle of the timeline. Note: Clicking and dragging within the top row (P1) of the timeline will ensure the whole section gets selected. It is possible to only trim out the video and leave the audio by graying out one of the bottom rows. Trimmed sections will always appear in the timeline but will not playback in the Panopto viewer once you apply your changes. That is because Panopto’s editor is non-destructive, and always allows you to re-add those sections back into your video at any time if necessary. To change a trim, simply drag the edge of the trim and adjust it accordingly. Dragging one edge of the trim into the other edge will remove the trim entirely and restore any content it was covering. In the top right corner of the page you have the option to Undo/Redo recent changes. If you are happy with your changes and want to save them, click Apply. If you want to undo all changes made in this editing session, choose Revert to return the video to its original state. If you still need help, click here to request assistance with Panopto.

Panopto - How to Share a Video
In this documentation, you will learn how to share a video in Panopto. Prerequisites Creator access to Panopto 1. Invite People 1.1. In your video library, hover over the video you want to share and click on the Share icon. This will open your sharing options (Fig. 1). Figure 1 1.2. Under People and groups, start typing the name of the person or group with whom you want to share the video (Fig. 2a). Based on the name or group you start typing, a suggested user list will appear for you to select the correct person or group from (Fig. 2b). Note: Underneath People and groups, you will notice information about whom the video is already shared with: the number of groups or people with access and where the video's permissions are inherited from. Figure 2a Figure 2b 1.3. Once selected, you can opt to do the following: Notify people, which sends them an email to let them know they have access to the video; Include table of contents and transcript if available, which adds the video's table of contents and transcript to the email sent; and Message, where you can type in a custom message to send to them regarding the video. Once you have done this, select Send to share the video (Fig. 3). Note: Creator access cannot be assigned at the video level. Creator rights can only be given at the folder level; as such, you will need to grant a user Creator access to the parent folder of the video for which you would like them to have Creator access. Figure 3 1.4. The person or group will appear in the list of names under People and groups (Fig. 4). Please note: To unshare the video with an individual, select the X that appears to the far right of the user's name. If the parent folder for a video is shared with the user, you will be unable to unshare the video until their access has been revoked at the folder level. Learn more at: How to Share a Folder. Figure 4 2. Share with a Wider Audience 2.1. You can also share the video with a wider audience. Select Change from under Who can access this video to change the sharing option (Fig. 5a). A pop-up list will appear with the following sharing options (Fig. 5b). Note: Videos inherit sharing permissions from their parent folder, as detailed in 2.1.a., below. A user may adjust this sharing permission to be more public than the parent folder setting, but not more private. Additionally, Your administrator can change what sharing options are available to you, so you might not see all of these options. Restricted: Share the video with specific people and groups as viewers. Your Organization (unlisted): Anyone at your organization with whom you've shared the link. Your Organization: Anyone at your organization can find and access the video. Public (unlisted): Anyone with whom you've shared the link can access the video. Public: Anyone can find and access this video. Your Organization & Public (unlisted): Anyone at your organization can find and access the video, and anyone who has the link can access the video. Note: This only appears as an option when the video's parent folder sharing setting is set to Public (unlisted) or Your Organization. For more details, please refer to step 2.1.a, below. Figure 5a Figure 5b 2.1.a. Videos inherit sharing permissions from their parent folder. Depending on the sharing permission set for the folder, the sharing permission options for videos may change and will appear as follows: Only specific people and groups: If the parent folder is set to Only specific people and groups, then videos in that folder will display these sharing options: Restricted, Your Organization (unlisted), Your Organization, Public (unlisted) and Public Your Organization (unlisted): If the parent folder is set to Your Organization (unlisted), then videos in that folder will display these sharing options: Your Organization (unlisted), Your Organization, Public (unlisted), and Public Your Organization: If the parent folder is set to Your Organization, then videos in that folder will display these sharing options: Your Organization, Your Organization & Public (unlisted), and Public Public (unlisted) : If your parent folder is set to Public (unlisted), then videos in that folder will display these sharing options: Public (unlisted), Your Organization & Public (unlisted), and Public Public: If your parent folder is set to Public, then videos in that folder will be Public, as well, and cannot be changed. 3. Share using a link 3.1. If you have set Who can access this video to any option except Restricted, you can copy and share the link by selecting the Copy Link button that appears. Link copied will appear at the bottom, indicating that you have successfully copied the link (Fig. 6). Optionally, select the checkbox next to Start at and add the timestamp at which you'd like the video to start when the audience opens the link provided. Figure 6 4. Social Sharing If enabled by their Panopto administrator, users can share their Panopto videos to certain social media websites. 4.1. Using the guidance in step 2.1., set the sharing option to Public (unlisted) or Public. The options for Facebook and Twitter will appear in color, rather than greyed out. Select either the Facebook or Twitter icon for the social media site you wish to share the video on (Fig. 7). Please note: If you wish to share the video on a different site, please copy and paste the direct link using step 3, above, instead. Figure 7 4.2. The sharing option for Facebook and Twitter will open in a new browser tab (Figs. 8a and 8b). Facebook Figure 8a Twitter Figure 8b
