How can I use Panopto to record my PowerPoint presentations?

To use Panopto to record your PowerPoint presentations, you need to follow several steps. Panopto is an excellent tool that allows you to create video presentations using your existing PowerPoint slides. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Install Panopto and Log In

First, download and install the Panopto Recorder if you haven’t already. You can find this on the Panopto website. Once installed, open the Panopto Recorder and log in using the credentials provided by your organization.

2. Set Up Your Recording

After logging in, choose the folder where you want your recording to be saved. Then, name your recording. Ensure it’s a descriptive name so you can easily locate the video later.

3. Choose Your Recording Inputs

Next, choose your recording inputs. This typically includes the main camera, secondary camera, audio, and quality settings. If you’re recording a PowerPoint presentation, ensure “Capture PowerPoint” is checked.

4. Start Recording

Open your PowerPoint presentation and then return to the Panopto Recorder and click “Record”. You can now start your presentation. Panopto will record everything you do within the PowerPoint application, along with your voice narration.

5. Stop and Upload the Recording

Once you finish your presentation, switch back to the Panopto Recorder and click “Stop”. Your recording will now be processed. After it’s processed, click “Upload” to save the recording to the Panopto server.

After following these steps, you can view, edit, share, and manage your recorded PowerPoint presentation on the Panopto website.

Please note that the exact process might vary slightly depending on the version of Panopto and PowerPoint you’re using. Always refer to the most recent documentation or user guide for your specific version if you encounter any issues.
