These instructions will help you make your first recording in Panopto. Although, if you prefer to use other recording software (like Quicktime Player or OBS) that's fine, too. Just make your audio/video/screen recordings, using whichever method of your choosing, then upload them into Panopto for easy editing, sharing, tracking, and management.
Before you record anything, consider your recording plan and environment.
In either case, consider the microphone that you'll be using and the ambient sound of the recording location. The microphones built into most laptops are not very good, especially if you're not sitting directly infront of the laptop. If possible, do a test recording and listen with headphones. Almost any plug-in USB microphone will give you better quality than a laptop microphone. If you're recording from home, a USB headset can be a great option.
NOTE: Make sure you've activated Panopto in your Blackboard course. Here are instructions on how to do that.
Navigate into your Blackboard course and click on Panopto Recordings from the Course Menu on the left. The large green Create button allows you to create or upload recordings into Panopto:
To make a recording with the fully featured Panopto software, choose Record A New Session

The following instructions from Panopto's support page does an excellent job with how to create your first video using the Web App called Panopto Capture: https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Create-a-Video-Using-Panopto-Capture
To upload an existing video, click on Create and choose Upload Media
When prompted, select your existing media you want to upload.
Once uploading has begun, you will notice a progress bar.
NOTE: Video files can be quite large and the wait time could take up to 20 or more minutes, depending on your internet speed. If you are sharing the bandwidth at your home, kindly ask your household to refrain from uploading, downloading, or streaming while you are uploading your video to help decrease wait time.
After upload is complete, you will see the new video appear in the Panopto Recordings page in your Blackboard course. You will notice yet another progress bar that shows that the video is being converted to the correct format by Panopto's servers.
Once processing is complete, you can then Edit your video, adjust any Settings, and/or integrate it with our course.
