Panopto allows the user to capture audio, video, screensharing, and/or PowerPoint all at the same time. The Panopto Recorder provides multiple options for what content is to be included and how it should be arranged. When creating a new Panopto session, use the following settings to customize your recording:
1. Session Settings: Use the Folder drop down menu to select the folder where you will send the recording. Enter a title for the recording in the Name textbox.
2. Primary Sources: Use this drop-down menu to include a recording of your FaceTime HD Camera, your computer screen or Built-in Display, or None for no Primary Source content. Be sure to select your microphone (e.g. Logitech Stereo H650e) in the Audio drop-down menu. Use the Quality menu to select a higher video quality (Note: may result in longer processing time).
3. Secondary Sources: Use these check boxes to record your PowerPoint and/or computer screen.
4. Secondary Sources Tabs: Select the PowerPoint Tab to open a PowerPoint file for your presentation.
