VStream   (Panopto)

VStream is VUW's audio, video and screen capture recording and streaming service.
The service, which uses software called Panopto, allows academics to capture content, record lectures, seminars, labs or any other type of video or audio content. Links to the recordings are made available to students via Nuku anytime and anywhere they want to learn.

The recordings are viewed via a web browser on a laptop or desktop computer. Content can also be optimised and streamed to mobile devices such as tablets and phones through the Panopto app.
