Recording and Uploading Videos

Using Panopto software, videos can be uploaded or recorded and shared with others to watch in their own time. Once you have uploaded or recorded content, it can be saved, edited and is often possible to reuse it. 
Need to know how to access your video after it has been recorded? See our Managing Your Videos page.
Download the Panopto desktop application to record video content
To be able to make recordings in your office or on your home computer you can download the Panopto desktop application.
  • On your Windows work computer go to your Windows start button for all programs and find the VUW software centre. Here you can select Panopto Recorder. 
  • On your home or Mac computer log into your Blackboard course and open the VStream videos link. Click the green Create button to Panopto for Windows/Panopto for Mac, then select the download option appropriate for your computer.
Instructions for recording videos to VStream with the desktop application
After downloading the Panopto software you can record videos and save them directly to your VStream 'My Folder' or course folder online. 
For step-by step guides on recording, please watch Panopto's 'How to Record with Panopto for Mac' video and/or Panopto's 'Recording with Panopto for Windows' video. ​
For guidance with creating educational videos, please see the Using Video for Teaching page. This has technical tips, ideas, examples and things to think about when creating recorded content for teaching. 
Instructions for uploading videos to VStream
After downloading the Panopto software you can upload videos to your VStream 'My Folder' or course folder online. 
For step-by step guides on uploading an existing video to VStream, please take a look at Panopto's 'How to Upload Video Files Using the Create Button' page.​
Instructions for recording videos to VStream with Panopto Capture
Panopto Capture, similarly to the Panopto desktop application, allows a user to easily record audio, video, and screens or applications, while being accessed directly within the browser instead of downloading the desktop application. 
On your home or Mac computer log into your Blackboard course and open the VStream videos link, click on the Create button and then select Panopto Capture.
For step-by step guides on recording a video to VStream with Panopto Capture, please take a look at Panopto's 'How to Create a Video Using Panopto Capture' page.​
Managing your recorded videos
After creating your video, you can edit the recording, change the video settings, share your content, move or copy it to a different location and/or embed the video in a Blackboard course. For guidance:
  • ​See the Editing Your Videos page
  • See the Managing Your Videos page
For further support documentation and video guides on how to use the Panopto system see the Panopto support site.

Course Welcome Videos
Welcome videos are designed to provide students with an engaging and personal introduction to the course. A welcome video is usually short (approximately two minute) video that is made available to students before they start a course. The video is recorded by the academic teaching staff in the course, and it simply gives students a brief introduction to the teaching team, some information about the course and how it will run, and a general idea of what they can expect from the course.
