Panopto: Home

Introduction

For some assignments, you may be asked to record a PowerPoint, on this page, you can learn about some best practices, as well as how to record using Panopto.

Recording best practices

1. You are not LIVE!
   • As you are just recording, you can feel more relaxed as only you will see your recordings until you export them and upload them for submission.
2. You can redo an entire recording
   • As mentioned above, because you are not live and you’re only recording, don’t worry about making mistakes as you are free to redo a recording as many times as you want until you feel happy with your video.
3. Take your time and know that making a small mistake is fine
   • It's always important not to rush a presentation as you may make more mistakes, stumble your words, or forget some of your words, take your time and enjoy talking about your topic/presentation.
   • Remember that it's ok if you make a small mistake, for example, saying ‘uh’, or slightly stumbling a word, we’re all human and we make mistakes, so don’t panic, and just continue as normal, because you wouldn’t restart your slide or presentation if you were doing this in front of people in a class would you?
4. Finish speaking before moving onto the next slide
   • If you continue speaking while moving onto your next slide, it may confuse your listener, as they may not know if you are talking about your current slide, or the previous slide, so it’s always recommended to finish speaking and then move onto your next slide.
