As there are two different versions of Panopto available in SHU, and several different ways to access them, it is useful to consider which version may be most useful to you before you start recording. 

Interface

Please see this article here for more information about Panopto Capture and Panopto for Windows interface.

Functionality

While they look quite different, both versions mostly have the same functionality in terms of basic operation.  

This table shows the comparison in more detail. But a quick summary of the main differences is ...

Panopto for Windows (or Mac) can:

• Produce recordings in MP4 format
• Highlight the mouse cursor on the screen
• Pause a recording and resume a recording

And Panopto Capture can:

• Work on any internet-connected device (the software doesn’t need to be installed)

So, mainly, it is down to preference, and what computer you are currently using (see below).

Accessing Panopto

Panopto Capture can be accessed in the following ways:

• Your Panopto account (Click [Create] and Select [Panopto Capture])
• Via your Blackboard sites (Go to [+] > [Integrated Tools] > [Panopto Video Embed] > [Record]) > [Capture (Browser)]

And Panopto For Windows...

• is installed on most computers in teaching spaces within SHU (double click the desktop icon)
• and can be accessed via AppsAnywhere (more info here about Apps Anywhere)
