Trinity Panopto Portal

How to record using Panopto in Trinity Panopto Portal for Windows PCs

1. Log on to the Windows computer in the public theatre or seminar room with your Trinity username and password.
2. Launch a web browser (such as Firefox or Google Chrome) and type in (http://panopto.tcd.ie)
   • Note: Do not click on the Panopto Recorder in the Start menu, as this method of accessing the portal to record lectures displays in a smaller window, which makes recording more difficult, so this method is not recommended
3. Enter your Trinity computer account username (in the form username@tcd.ie) and click Next. If you forget to type the '@tcd.ie' part of your username, you will get an error message. Note: If you have signed in to Microsoft 365 with a second account, you will see a window called Pick an account instead of the one above. Choose the Trinity account, and you will be automatically signed into Blackboard.
   
   

Once logged in to the TCD Panopto Cloud Portal, there is no need to download the Panopto Software to the Windows computer, as IT Services has it pre-installed.

6. The Panopto Recorder window will open, and you can choose several settings:
   • • The <Folder> field where the recording will be stored is already set to your default <My folder> in your TCD Panopto account. You may return to the Panopto web portal, go to your My Folder, and create a subfolder if you want to store your recording in a separate folder. All folders you create must be stored under the default <my folder> as subfolders.
     • The <Session> title is the date and time; you may want to change it to a suitable video recording title for your target audience.
     • Choose your Video (camera) and Audio (microphone that you want to record with. While you can set your video to none if you don't want your camera view recorded, you have to have an audio mic chosen (for voiceover) to record as a minimum. You can test that the audio mic is being picked up by speaking; the audio bar should move up and down.
     • The <Capture computer audio> option should be ticked if you want audio from your computer speakers, such as a YouTube video, to be captured in the recording. In most cases, you can leave it unticked unless you need it for the above purpose.
     • For the <Slides> field, tick either < PowerPoint> or <Keynote> to ensure that your presentation slides will be recorded.
     • Leave the <Source> field as <Builtin Display>.

• Record & Pause: Click Record to start; use Pause as needed during the lecture.
• Stop & Review: Click Stop when finished. Select Upload (or delete to record again). This may take a few minutes to complete. Once it is complete, a confirmation email will be sent to your email address, letting you know that the lecture recording is ready for editing, sharing, and viewing.
• In the Panopto Recorder window, you can monitor the recording status in the Status field, and once completed, you should see the three options at the bottom of the window: Share, Edit, and View Online.
  
  
  
  
• If you are not happy with the recording, you can either delete the entire recording or highlight the recording you want to delete, then click the Delete button in the Panopto Recorder window.
•  Always log out of Panopto and Macintosh when finished to secure your account.
