Step 5: Capturing visualisers, whiteboards and blackboards
Panopto can capture more than the computer. Record whiteboards and other devices in a lecture theatre.
Step 6: Telling Panopto which Blackboard course to record into
The Panopto process is automated. You need to follow these steps to ensure your recording processes into the right Blackboard course.
Step 7: Recording and Pausing
Once you’ve done the setting up it’s time to record.
Step 8: Uploading and logging out
Get your recording onto our servers and into your Blackboard course.
Step 9: Stopping students seeing a recording you have just made
If something happens that you don’t want to be published you should make the session unavailable before leaving the lecture theatre.
Video instructions
Pick a piece of equipment in your room and we’ll help you choose the right help video for it.
Each video goes through the full Panopto process, so you will probably only need to watch one.
