Create a recording or Webcast
For staff to create a Panopto recording or a webcast.
- On your desktop, double-click the Panopto icon to open the Panopto Recorder app. Alternatively, you can search for the app in your system.
- Select Sign in.
- Enter your standard Waikato username and password, then select Sign in.
- Your default web browser will open. Select Open Panopto Recorder in the window that pops up to begin using the app.
- Once you are signed in to the Panopto app, click on the drop-down arrow to select the Folder where you want to save your recording.
Note: If your desired paper/folder is not available, the folder or your access to the folder may not be correctly set up. You can record to another folder, and move the recording later. - Name your recording so that it is easy for you and your participants to find.
- Select Primary Sources and Secondary Sources (e.g. audio, video, screen, PPT, Document Camera).
Note: Ensure that you have selected an Audio source, and the sound meter shows audio levels are OK.

- To start recording, select the Record button in the top left-hand corner.
- If you want to broadcast the session to a live audience, select the tick box next to Webcast at the top right, then select Record.
Note: If you are webcasting, students can access the live session by going to the Panopto block in the Moodle paper, and under Currently Recording, selecting Watch Live.
- When you have finished recording, select Stop. This step saves your recording.
Note: You can Pause the recording and Start again when ready. Recording continues in the background and can usually be retrieved in editing, if you remember to Stop the recording to save it. - Select Delete and record again if you are not happy with your recording and want to re-do it, or Upload if it is fine.
Note: After selecting Upload, the recording will be first uploaded to the Panopto database, then processed before being made available for viewing, editing and sharing. You can log out after the upload is complete (make sure to not log out before), the processing will not be affected. The processing time may take up to a few hours.
