The instructions below detail how to record using the browser based Panopto Capture in Microsoft Edge. If you would like to record using a different browser or a Mac, please see the following link.

When recording a lecture via the web browser, please aim to allow at least 5 minutes at the end as the recording will need additional time to upload to Panopto.

Open Microsoft Edge and log into Canvas. From within a Canvas course, select the Panopto Recordings Folder from the left-hand navigation bar and then click the + Create button.

Select Panopto Capture (Record in browser)

3. Panopto Capture will then launch in a new browser tab

4. Next you will need to select an audio option, your browser may prompt you to select a device as shown below, select Allow

If you accidently block a device please see here how to unblock it. You can see which device is selected by choosing the Audio button

Each line in option connected to your computer will appear. Select the desired device and a checkmark will appear like in the example shown below

Next select the Camera source. Again you may be prompted by your browser to give Panopto access to your camera(s). If you accidently block a device please see here on how to unblock

If you do not wish to have the web camera on, select the X button in the tool bar

Next select your Screen and Application sources. To record a screen, application window or individual browser tab, select the monitor icon

In Microsoft Edge you will be shown the following screen, select to record Entire Screen and then the screen you wish to record
