Student Help – Panopto
Panopto allows you or your instructors to record the computer screen including audio and automatically upload/convert it to a central location. Once the Panopto Recorder is installed, it will record the entire computer screen (or just a PowerPoint) with audio. The video is then uploaded to the Panopto server where it can be viewed or downloaded.
