Web streaming and recording lectures using Panopto Staff Guide Mac

Prerequisites

1. Install the Panopto Lecture Capture software on your computer.

2. Create a Panopto Lecture Capture Tool link in the module for lecture recordings.

Section 1: Setting up your lecture web stream placeholder These steps will show you how to create a Panopto web stream waiting room link which you can

provide to your students in advance of the lecture. You can record and web stream your lecture

from this waiting room.

Please note that Panopto requires you to record your lecture while web streaming.

How to create your lecture web stream placeholder 1. Sign into Blackboard Learn (mymodule.tcd.ie) and go to the module where you want to web

stream and record your lecture.

2. In this module, you should already have a Panopto Tool link created in the content area

panel on the left (you may have called the Panopto tool link Lecture Recordings or

something similar). Click on the Panopto Tool link to display the Panopto Content features

within Blackboard.

3. Click on the Open in Panopto button (a square with a cross arrow pointing upwards) on the

right-hand side of the screen.

4. This will open the Trinity Panopto website for your module’s Panopto folder in a new

window.

5. Click on the Create button and choose Webcast to create the web stream waiting room

placeholder link which you can provide to your students in advance of your lecture.

6. Choose a name for your lecture web stream, leave the default module folder as is. You can

also add a short description of your lecture.

7. Click the Create button to create the lecture web stream placeholder.

Please note: You need to create a unique web stream placeholder for each lecture you will

stream. Do not use the same placeholder as this will overwrite your previous web streams.

8. Your lecture web stream placeholder settings window will appear where you can review and

adjust your settings. Here you have the option to add a preview image and decide whether

your students can post comments to the comments section of your lecture’s web stream.

9. Copy the Viewer link (which is the lecture web stream placeholder link) and save it

somewhere where you can access it later (e.g. Word document/NotePad) so you can share it

with your students in advance of your lecture.

10. Click on the X at the top right to close the lecture web stream placeholder window.

11. You should now have your lecture web stream placeholder within your Blackboard Panopto

folder.

12. You can now sign out of the Trinity Panopto website by clicking on your name and choosing

to Sign out or close the Trinity Panopto website tab and return to your Blackboard module

website tab.

13. Refresh your Blackboard window or click on the Panopto Lecture Tool link again and your

Lecture web stream placeholder will appear in your module.

How to share your lecture web stream placeholder To share your lecture web stream placeholder link with your students in advance of your lecture,

you can create a Blackboard announcement. Your students will either receive the announcement

notification by email or they will see the announcement when they access that module in their

Blackboard profile.

By posting the web stream placeholder link as an announcement, you will make it easier for your

students to access it from the relevant module on Blackboard, especially in cases where your

Panopto recordings area is not by default visible to your students in their Blackboard view of the

module.

1. Create an announcement with relevant text and type in a short title for your web stream

link, e.g. 10am lecture web stream. Highlight the title and click on the Insert/Edit link button

in the second row of the message toolbar options.

2. A web link window will open. Here you can paste in the web stream placeholder URL for

your lecture which you saved earlier, choose open in a new window (blank), and give a title

for the web stream link. Click on the Insert button to save your announcement.

3. The announcement will now have a hyperlink to the web stream placeholder which your

students can access on Blackboard to watch your web stream once you begin recording. Do

not paste in the web stream placeholder link as an ordinary URL within the announcement

as the link would display as ordinary text rather than a clickable hyperlink.

4. If you have multiple web stream placeholders created for a number of upcoming lectures

you can create an announcement with distinguishing titles with a different web stream

placeholder link for each title.

5. Please note: Advise your students to view the web stream by opening a web browser,

logging into Blackboard, going to the relevant module, and clicking on the web stream

placeholder link. Only students enrolled to the module can watch the web stream, so it is

essential that the students have logged into Blackboard first before accessing the web

stream link. If the student is not logged into Blackboard when accessing the web stream,

they will be prompted to sign in first.

How to test your lecture web stream placeholder You can test your lecture web stream placeholder in advance of sharing it with your students, by one

of the following ways:

1. Open a new web browser tab and paste the web link to the URL field to see what your

lecture web stream placeholder waiting room looks like for the students.

2. Alternatively, if your Panopto tool link area where you store your recordings is visible to the

students (you can check this by using the student preview button), the students can go into

the module in Blackboard and click on the placeholder to watch the live web stream once

the recording of your lecture web stream placeholder has started.

placeholder

How to set up your web stream and recording On the day of your lecture, give yourself a few minutes before the lecture starts to get everything in

place.

1. Log onto the computer you are using in the classroom, lecture hall, your office or at home

(on reliable broadband). Double check that this computer has the Panopto Lecture Capture

Software pre-installed.

2. Open your PowerPoint presentation for your lecture.

3. Log into Blackboard (mymodule.tcd.ie), go to the module where you have created your

lecture web stream placeholder, click on the Panopto Lecture Capture tool link on the left-

hand side and in your list of recordings you will see your lecture web stream placeholder for

your lecture.

4. Click on the Create button and choose Record a new session from the drop-down menu.

5. Click on Open Panopto to launch the Panopto Lecture Capture software on the computer.

6. Tick the “Always allow..” box in the Open Panopto? Window and click Open Panopto.

7. The Panopto Lecture Capture Software will open.

8. You may be familiar with the Panopto Record window from recording lectures. You will be

recording the lecture while web streaming and the recording will be stored in your

Blackboard module for viewing by students either right away or later once you release it,

dependent on whether you have hidden your Panopto Tool link or not.

9. Panopto has already chosen the default folder to store your recording in your Blackboard

module.

10. Beside the Session field, click the Join session button and a drop-down menu of your lecture

web stream placeholders will be displayed. Choose the relevant lecture web stream

placeholder.

11. This replaces the default recording name in the Session field with your lecture web stream

placeholder name and you will notice that the webcast field is now ticked and beside the

webcast field is the placeholder web stream link.

12. Decide what playback / web stream window view your students will see once you start

recording and web streaming:

a. If you want your students to see your PowerPoint presentation in the main large

playback window and your camera in the smaller top left-hand corner window with

audio voiceover, please configure Panopto as follows:

Primary Source: video field should be set to your camera, the audio field should pick

up your microphone, and ensure that the Record PowerPoint box is ticked. If you do

not want the camera, choose None for the Video field.

P a g e | 10

Secondary Sources: Secondary 1 should be set to Built-in Display. In addition to

having Record PowerPoint ticked (under Primary Source), you need to have Built-in

Display (screen capture) chosen to ensure that your presentation will be displayed

to your students in the live web stream.

b. Alternatively, if you want your students to see your video camera in the main

window and your PowerPoint presentation in the smaller left-hand corner window,

please configure Panopto as follows:

Primary Source: video field should be set to Built-in Display, audio set to

microphone and ensure that the Record PowerPoint box is ticked

Secondary 1: Set to None (no camera).

How to web stream and record your lecture after setting up

1. Once you have completed your Panopto Record settings, click the Record button to start

recording and web streaming. Please note that once you start the recording/webcast, there

is a short delay (approx. 30-60 seconds) before the students see the webcast on their

devices.

2. Your students can watch the web stream of your lecture by using the web stream link you

created earlier above. Please advise the students to watch your web stream via a web

browser only, they should not use the Panopto app or an embedded video viewer

application as the presentation will not show. Below is an example of what the student

would see.

3. On a Mac, Panopto does not automatically open the PowerPoint slides. After clicking record,

bring up your PowerPoint presentation and start your PowerPoint slide show, talk through

your slides (you may be asked by Panopto to allow it to record the built-in display, say yes to

that prompt) and when your lecture is finished, click the Stop button to end the recording

and the web stream for the students.

4. Panopto will then prompt you to click the Done button to upload your lecture recording to

the TCD Panopto site and it will appear in your module’s Lecture Recordings area once the

upload is complete, which will take 10-15 minutes. You can close Panopto and Blackboard

and log out of the computer, but please leave on your computer to allow Panopto to finish

the upload process and move the recording files from your local computer to the TCD

Panopto cloud in Blackboard.

5. If your Panopto tool link for your lecture recordings is not visible in your module’s content

area, then your recording is stored but not viewable by your students initially. If you have

this setup, you need to review, edit and release the recording to the lecture recordings

content area within your module that is not hidden. If you do not have this setup and all

recordings are viewable immediately by your students within the module, then you don’t

need to do this step.

Please note: you can web stream your lecture from the hidden Panopto recordings area,

students with the web stream placeholder link will be able to see the lecture online in real-

time, but the lecture recording link that is stored would need to be released to the students

in the non-hidden area of your module for them to playback later.

How to webcast without a pre-prepared lecture web stream placeholder link

If you haven’t had the chance to set up a web stream placeholder link in advance of your lecture,

you can still web stream and record your lecture. This process is similar to the steps in Section 2,

with one difference as outlined below:

1. When you have your Panopto software window open to record, instead of choosing from

the Join Session drop-down menu in the Session field, you write the title of your lecture in

the Session field and tick the Webcast field.

2. Once you click the Record button, the webcast web link will be created which you should

share with your students at the start of the lecture, e.g. by posting an announcement within

the Blackboard module or sending the link via email.

Please note: Starting a web stream and recording without first preparing and sharing the web

stream placeholder link with your students is not ideal. We recommend preparing your lecture web

stream placeholder well in advance of your lecture.
