There are two main uses for the subject session folder for Panopto:
This article explores using the CSU Panopto folder within a \subject site for managing Panopto recordings within a particular teaching session.
Access your subject site in Brightspace.
Navigate to Panopto via My Subject > CSU Replay (Panopto)
The first time that you do this it will take a few moments for the screen to load as Panopto is enabled in the background. Then the Panopto folders for the subject will open.
The folder in Panopto takes the same name as the subject itself, so that will include the session subject code as well.
If you have made bookings with DIT for lecture capture in Panopto (non-IVT lecture recordings) they will appear automatically in the subject session site folder. This is also where students will be able to access and view them.
If you require your face-to-face lecture/s to be automatically recorded, they must be booked in advance. To schedule your lecture, you should use this form: https://staff.csu.edu.au/division/information-technology/forms/csu-replay-learning-and-teaching-registration-form
A minimum of 2 weeks’ notice is required to ensure your Panopto lecture recording can be processed and scheduled on-time.
You can create and upload videos into your Panopto session folder. Remember that these will only be available within that session site.
If you are creating recordings that need to be embedded into your content and re-used across multiple sessions you should do this within your subject Master site. See Embedding Panopto into learning resources for more information.
To add a video to the Panopto session folder, navigate to the Panopto folder and click on Create.
You will see that there are several different options:
To create a new recording select Panopto Capture: This option launches Panopto Capture, which allows a user to easily record audio, video, entire screens, or application windows from directly within their browser, and no download is required.
Panopto Capture will launch in a new browser tab. Choose your recording options:
You can also adjust the settings for recording options (SD/HD quality), stream output, video layout, and background by selecting the cog icon.
Click the red circle button to start recording.
Click the red square button to stop recording.
The recording will automatically upload to Panopto. On the confirmation screen you can view a preview, redo if needed, and give a meaningful title to the recording. The ideal naming would include subject code, topic/lecture/ title of video. This allows the video to be more easily identifiable and finding the video more easily by being able to search on a subject code. It also means if the student opens the video up in Panopto, they have the context of the subject and the content it relates to. E.g. ABC123 Topic 1/Lecture 1: Biology
To upload a recording you have already made, choose Upload media. This option will allow you to upload audio files, a single video, or multiple videos that will create new Panopto Sessions.
Click in the dotted field to open the browse window and locate the file on your computer, or use the drag-and-drop function to drop the video into the field.
The file will upload, and you will see a confirmation screen with the name of the video and upload status listed.
You are also able to download and use Panopto for Windows to create and upload your videos. Panopto for Windows offers some additional features for recording with multiple sources and live streaming.
