Why can't I see my Panopto course folder when I log into Panopto?
To see one's course recordings, one has to log in to the Learning Management System (Brightspace) through which access to the recordings is restricted. If the course is a Brightspace course, the user must log in to Brightspace, navigate to the Panopto link in the course, and select the link to see their course folder.
Why does the video skip and stutter in my recordings?
The user's computer has to meet minimum requirements:
Operating System: Windows 10, 11 or latest version of macOS
Processor/Hardware: Standard Quality: Intel i3 recommended or any Mac hardware. High or Ultra Quality: Intel i7 (4-core) or Apple M1 recommended. This recommendation does not take into account secondary sources which will require additional resources. Users may experience high CPU usage depending on the number of sources and quality settings.
Memory: 8 GB RAM (for PC) or 4GB RAM (for Mac)
Storage (PC): Standard Quality - 2GB per hour. High Quality - 4GB per hour
Storage (Mac): Standard Quality - 135MB per hour. High Quality - 540MB per hour
