Recording settings and individual course scheduling

1. From the Recording Scheduler home page, click the gear icon to open the Recording Settings window for a listed class. You can adjust the automatic recording start time, end time, and toggle Live Stream on and off.
   
2. Use the toggle button next to the Live Streaming text to turn it on and off. It will be off by default.

Schedule all recordings

You can schedule recordings for all listed classes at once by clicking the SCHEDULE ALL button from the Recording Scheduler home page. You must click the Scheduled button for each class if you need to unschedule any of them.

Confirm scheduled recordings and share livestream links

Faculty and students can access the scheduled videos and live stream (webcast) links before the class. For professors, this is a way to confirm recordings and to share live stream links with students through syllabi, email, or other preferred communication platforms.

1. From Canvas, click Panopto Recordings.
   
2. Click the clock icon near the top of the screen.
3. Hover over a scheduled recording and click the settings gear icon.
   
4. Copy the Viewer Link field and share it with students through syllabi, email, or other preferred communication platforms. 

Note: An actively live-streaming class is marked as Recording right now, and students can click the recording to join the live audience. Recordings that are not webcasts also have viewer links and will display a processing status until the recording is complete.

During the class, you can adjust the recording using the AV touch panel. You can begin recording up to ten minutes earlier than scheduled, with a notification five minutes before and as the recording begins.

1. Tap the [Rec] button to check that you have a recording scheduled and review the details.
   
2. By default, the PC will be shared to the recording as shown under Content.
   • In easy mode, the recorded Content is the same as the selected source.
   • In advanced mode, the recorded Content matches the Panopto destination.
   • The Both cameras will record notification in the screenshot is only applicable for classrooms with multiple cameras. Click the toggle button with arrows to view each camera.
3. Test microphones and verify the microphone levels on the microphone meter.
    
4. Before the recording begins, notify students that this class will be recorded.
5. Ten minutes before the scheduled recording, you begin the recording early by tapping the Start Recording Now button.
   
6. Five minutes before the start of a recording, the AV touch panel will open up the recording information, and you will hear an audible chime from the AV touch panel.
   • Note: You have the option to start the recording early by tapping the Start Recording Now button.
     
7. At the start of a recording, another chime and a verbal notification will sound to notify faculty that the recording has begun.
8. Tap the Rec button to access option buttons such as Extend +5m, Extend +15m, Pause, or Stop Recording.
   

Note: The extend buttons are grayed out in this example because there is another recording scheduled at 4:30 PM and the current recording can't overlap with that one.

• After tapping the Stop Recording button, tap Yes, Stop Recording from the pop-up.
