This knowledgebase article is the student side of how to record a Panopto video, and how to submit that video to a D2L assignment. Note: If you are a course admin looking for instructions on how to set up a D2L assignment, see this KB article found under our D2L section. Step 1 - Download and Install Panopto (if not already installed). Panopto is not automatically deployed to student computers. If you have not yet installed Panopto for Windows, instructions can be found here. Step 2 - Record your video to your My Folder. Open Panopto from the icon on your desktop or taskbar. Sign in using your DMU username and password. Click Sign in. Confirm your settings. (Settings may vary depending on what content your instructor is asking you to include in your assignment) 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 available recording 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: Checked if recording any sounds playing from your computer. Capture PowerPoint: Checked if recording a PowerPoint. Capture Main Screen: Checked if recording content on your computer screen Note: If you have multiple monitors you may need to select a different screen. You can use the checkbox to "Enable screen capture preview" (circled below), and verify you have the correct screen selected. Folder: If it did not default to My Folder, choose the drop down and select My Folder. Replace the date and time information with whatever you'd like the title to be for this recording. 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. Note: If you are recording your screen and the recorder is in your way, you may safely minimize it. When finished, click on the Panopto icon on the taskbar to pull up the recorder if needed. Click 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 submit or edit within 10-15 minutes, depending on the length of the recording. Step 3 - Submit video as a D2L assignment. 1.

This article will explain how to easily copy all of the video content from a previous Panopto course folder to a current course folder. Sign into https://dmu.hosted.panopto.com. Click Browse to search for the folder of the current course. Select the folder to open it. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner to open the folder settings. Make sure you're on the Overview tab. At the very bottom, under the Course Video Copy section, select Choose source folder. Check the boxes for Include Zoom videos and Include Scheduled Recordings. Search for the name of the previous course. Select the course. Click Begin folder copy. Click OK to confirm the course copy. You should see a message indicating that the course copy job is in progress. Unfortunately it takes a while for the videos to process and this is the only status message you will get until the videos appear. We expect it could take an hour or two, depending on how many videos are being copied. If you still need help, click here to request assistance with Panopto.

There is an issue that sometimes occurs when attempting to access folders or videos in new courses. This issue looks a little different depending on if it's Faculty/Staff or Students experiencing the issue, but the fix is the same for both. Faculty and Staff may just notice that when they search for new courses in Panopto (Browse->Active Courses) they do not see their latest courses. Students may click on a Panopto video link and may be directed to a page to Request Access. In either case follow these steps: 1) Log into https://dmu.desire2learn.com/d2l/home 2) Open the course (or any course that is provisioned for Panopto). 3) Open the Content page for that course. 4) Find the Course Recordings or Panopto Recordings module along the left side. 5) Click on the Panopto Recordings external learning tool link. Once that link has been clicked it will sync your access to all of your Panopto course folders and the videos within them so faculty should see all of their folders, and students should be able to view any of the Panopto links within their courses. If you cannot find that Panopto Recordings link or if it does not open the Panopto folder for that course when you click it, please contact a course admin or reach out to the Solutions Hub.
