Anyone with Instructor or Course Builder access to a module area in Blackboard Learn will have Creator access by default.
Info Note: If you haven’t already, see our Using Panopto with Ulster University Blackboard support page for advice on setting up Panopto in your module area
- If you are non-teaching member of staff, you can request your own Personal Development Area via the Module Manager and this will give you the required Creator access. Please contact the Blackboard Helpdesk if you need help doing this.
- Students have access to Panopto Capture in the Panopto Video Assignment
How to make a recording
How to Launch Panopto Recorder
To launch Panopto Recorder:
- Login to Blackboard Learn at https://learning.ulster.ac.uk
- Go to the module area you’ll be recording from.
- Select the Panopto Course Tool Application link you added to the module menu when you provisioned it with Panopto.
- This will take you to the Panopto folder for the module area.
- Select the green Create button at the screen and choose Panopto Capture BETA from the drop-down menu that appears.
- Panopto Capture will then open in a new browser tab.
You may see on-screen prompts at the top of your screen asking for permission to use your microphone and/or webcam. Be sure to allow access by choosing the Allow button.
Info Note: Firefox users should select the Remember this decision checkbox to stop these prompts for appearing every time they access Panopto Capture.
Select an Audio Input Device
You will need an audio input source to record audio. To do this:
- Select the microphone icon at the top left corner of Panopto Capture.
- Any active microphone connected to your computer will be listed on screen. Select the microphone you wish to use by clicking on it. A tick will appear below the selected audio source.
In the example below (highlighted in red) I have chosen to use the Microphone (Parallels Audio Controller):
alking at a normal volume will allow you to test your microphone. The bar at the left of each box indicates how well the microphone is picking up audio.

Note: At normal levels the audio bar should be green. If the audio bar is yellow or red, the video's audio may be distorted or too loud. If no colour is showing, the microphone is not picking up audio. |
