Explanation of Terms:
Recording options:
Recording: Recordings are posted 24-48 hours after the class ends, in the “Panopto Recordings” folder on your Canvas site, available to all students in the course. Two video feeds are recorded: the classroom PC screen and the room camera. Laptop screen capture is not available in all rooms. Recordings start and end automatically based on the scheduled time of the class. Students see a picture-in-picture display of the two video feeds, plus synchronized audio. Click here for more information about scheduling recordings.
Make my recording “Private”: Checking this box saves recordings to the “Private Recordings” folder within the “Panopto Recordings” folder on your Canvas site. These recordings are not available to students by default. To grant access, click here for instructions on sending “private” recordings to students, or contact FSS with a request to send a private recording to particular students.
Make my recording audio-only: Checking this box notifies ITS that you would like all video content (PC screen and video camera) edited out of your recording. Creating an audio-only recording requires extra processing time. Audio-only recordings will be posted 48-72 hours after the recording ends.
