Setup

You only need to setup up Panopto Lecture Capture once per module in Blackboard and you can do this from any computer.

Before you start:

Log in to Course Resources and navigate to the Module/Programme and the content area you want to work on.

Make sure Edit Mode is turned on - Turning Edit Mode off will allow you to view the module as the students see it.

Edit Mode can be toggled on or off using the button shown below

1. In the Course Resources module, hover mouse pointer over 'Add Menu Item' button and Click 'Tool Link'

2. Name the Tool Link e.g. Lecture Recordings and choose 'Panopto Course Tool Application' from the drop down list. Click the 'Submit' button

The Tool Link you have created will now appear in the module menu.

Tip:Giving students access to this tool will enable them to access recordings as soon as they are processed. Leave the Available to Users option unchecked unless you are sure that you want to publish links to your recordings without vetting them first.

3. Click on the Tool Link you have created to open the Panopto Focus Content tool and click on the 'Configure' button

Click on the tool link

A matching module folder has now been created on the Panopto system that tutors and students enrolled on the module can access.

6. Highlight any Available Folders you wish to use with the module and click Add. Click the 'Submit' button.
The Configure Panopto Focus Course page will now load. In the box on the right you will see the name of the Panopto folder that is connected to your module/programme. You can add other Panopto folders that you have created so that recordings can be published across modules. Completing this step ensures that students have access to the recordings in those folders.

Highlight any available folders

Once you've completed setup you are now ready to capture your lectures.
