How to record using Panopto in Blackboard for Apple Macs

1. Log into the Mac using your Trinity username and network login password.
2. Log into Blackboard (mymodule.tcd.ie).
3. Select the Module from your Module List that you wish to record a lecture to - remember that you must have already setup Panopto for your Module in Blackboard before you can use Panopto the first time in that Module.
4. Click your Lecture Recordings link that you created for this Module and then choose Create, and then Record a new session.
   
   
   
   
5. Click Launch Panopto - as the software is already installed on the Senior Lecture Pool Room computers you can ignore any 'installation required' message that may display.
6. The Panopto Recorder window opens:
   
   
   
   
7. Beside Folder you will see where the recording will be saved to.
   • Beside Session you should enter a sensible name for this recording session - something that will help to clearly identify it later.
   • Under Screen Capture you will see 'Record Screen Capture' is selected, meaning that all actions carried out on the computer screen will be recorded.
   • Under Audio/Video you will see the listing for Audio Source is set to 'Built-in Input' referring to the lecture theatre mic
   • Video Source would refer to video additional to the screen capture, such as a webcam and is usually left set to 'None'.
8. Once you are ready to record, click Start Recording, and when finished choose Stop Recording.
9. If you are not happy with the recording you can choose Delete. Otherwise it will take 1-2 minutes to upload the video to the TCD Cloud Panopto site and you will receive an email to your Trinity email account once the upload is complete.
   • By default the new lecture recording will be viewable by the students enrolled in that module when they log into Blackboard. They can find the recorded content by accessing the relevant Module and choosing Lecture Recordings.
   • If you wish to carry out any edits on your video please see our page on how to edit videos recorded in Panopto.
