Using Personal Capture - Staff Guides

To use personal capture in Panopto

  1. Log in to Panopto from your Device (open a browser and log in via leeds.cloud.panopto.eu)
  2. If you are using a teaching space with a lectern, log in using the in-room PC where possible*. A shortcut to Panopto Capture is available on the lectern PC desktop.

*Panopto Personal Capture is a manual recording method and does not have the red light or pause button functionalities used with automatic lecture capture in teaching spaces. When used from a lectern PC in teaching spaces, it will only capture audio and what is displayed on the lectern PC.
