   • Under Primary Sources, Video would refer to additional video devices and would be left off.
   • Usually, Audio is already selected to record audio through the mic, and you can set a Quality level.
   • You can select to 'Capture Computer Audio' if you wish to record audio generated by applications you use during your recording.
   • There is a 'Webcast' option towards the top right that generates a web address you can share with anyone who is not present but who you wish to see the presentation as it happens.

   • Note that it may take a few minutes for your new recording to be fully uploaded to the TCD Panopto Cloud. When this process is complete, you will also receive an email to your Trinity email account to confirm the video has been uploaded successfully.
