Important Information

All Panopto-recorded videos will be automatically captioned.
If you redo a video when in the recording tab, the Panopto Video popout may not see the new recording. You will need to close the popout and reopen Panopto from the toolbar. From there, you can find your previous video in the “Choose” tab.
