Recording

  1. Start your University of Waikato Zoom session.
  2. Select the Record icon at the bottom of the Zoom meeting window, or at the top if you have shared your screen.
  3. If you are recording a lecture or any other session that you would like your students to access via Panopto, select Record to the Cloud. This saves the recording to your personal My Folder in Panopto.

  4. Pause and Stop options appear once the recording has started. Remember to Stop recording when you have finished.

    Note: Recordings can take a while to process. You should receive a confirmation email when processing is completed.

  5. To make the recording accessible to students or other participants, after processing is complete, go to Panopto then on the left of the screen select your personal My Folder, then the Meeting Recordings subfolder, and follow these steps to move the recording to the appropriate paper's Panopto folder. You can also share the recording.

Note:

If you have set up and recorded a session on behalf of a guest lecturer, it will save to your own My Folder as normal.

If you have recorded to your own device, you can upload the Zoom recording to Panopto.

If you have recorded to a lecture room computer by mistake, the Help Desk should be able to help you recover your recording.
