Panopto is a video management, lecture recording, and livecasting software service. It has many possible uses including:
You can use the Panopto recording software to record video, audio, powerpoint slides and screen captures. There is also a web-based app, Panopto Capture, if you can't install the software. These recordings are uploaded to the Panopto server and can be shared to modules on Blackboard. You can also upload recordings that were made using other software (e.g. recordings made on a phone, videos made with editing software, animations, etc).
The Panopto recorder software is installed on all USW machines by default. A microphone and/or webcam should be available in every teaching room. If hardware is not available or if you need the software installing on a USW-managed machine please log a call on the IT Helpdesk or you can use the web-based version of Panopto - Capture.
