Select Name your recording and enter a name.
Select Panopto for (Windows or Mac.)
If you have not previously installed the Panopto for (Windows or Mac) app, select the Download link.

Install the app, and then go back to Moodle ISU and select Launch App (3)
A pop-up window will appear, asking to allow https://isu.hosted.panopto.com to open the Panopto link with Panopto Recorder

The Panopto App will then open a new screen

Select and change the following options:

Select your microphone and select Capture Computer Audio (1)
Select any screens you want to capture, or your PowerPoint presentation (2)
Select Enable screen capture preview (3) in order to see what will be recorded from your screen.
Set your Resolution (4) to 1280 x 720 or higher, depending on the quality of your video you want recorded and the resolution of your webcam. Changing the resolution to a higher quality will create a larger file for you to upload.
Set your fps (frames per second) to 30 (5).

Enter a name for your recording. This will default to the recording time, so make sure you change it to the correct name of your desired title.
Select Record to start recording.
After the recording has started, the Record button will change to Stop, and a Pause button will appear next to it.
After you are finished recording, select Stop, and a new window will appear letting you know that the recording is complete. You can enter a description of the recording, and then select Done.
Your video will now appear in the Recording tab in Moodle ISU.

After you finish recording your video, it is important to select Insert in the Add Panopto Video window in order to insert the video into your forum post or assignment. If you miss selecting Insert, your video will disappear, but if you go back in to edit your forum post, you can select Insert on the video to add it to your post.
