Trinity Panopto Portal

The Trinity Panopto Portal is a video content management web portal at panopto.tcd.ie that a staff member can sign in to create and record video content. It can be used to create and store staff training videos, it can record events such as professor inaugural talks, record live lecture streams, flipped classroom scenarios, record research fieldwork, audio only podcasts. It lets you share video content at the user level, the trinity organisation level, or the public internet level.

Note: For lecture video materials for your students, use the Panopto-integrated service within Blackboard. The Panopto portal is for non-Blackboard video material, for a wider audience.

  2. Launch a web browser (such as Safari or Firefox) and type in (http://panopto.tcd.ie)
  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, instead of seeing the above window, you will see a window titled "Pick an account." Choose the Trinity account, and you will be automatically signed into Blackboard.

  5. Click the Create button again, then choose Record a new session to create a new lecture recording.
  6. Click on the Launch Panopto button.



  7. The Panopto Recorder window will open, and you can choose several settings:
    • The default folder for storing your recordings is the my folder.
    • You can change the Session name from date and time to something more meaningful if you want.
    • You can click the Record PowerPoint box if not already ticked.
    • You can decide whether to enable the Record Screen Capture box to record your mouse movements and clicks during the recording session.
    • You can click the Record Audio/Video box and choose whether to record audio (most people will want to record audio); some may want to record video if there is a camera in the room.

  8. Record & Pause: Click Record to start; use Pause as needed during the lecture.

  9. Stop & Review: Click Stop when finished. Select Upload (or delete to record again). This may take a few minutes to complete. Once it is fully complete, an email confirmation will be sent to your email address that the lecture recording is ready for editing, sharing and viewing.

  10. 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.



  11. If you are not happy with the recording, you can either delete the whole recording or highlight the recording you want to delete and click the Delete button in the Panopto Recorder window.
  12.  Always log out of Panopto and Macintosh when finished to secure your account.

Additional Notes:

  1. There is an Edit option that lets you edit the recording.
  2. You can also view the recording online, play it back, and review it.
