Supported Browsers
At the moment Panopto Capture only supports the latest versions of the following browsers:
- Firefox (Windows and macOS versions)
- Google Chrome (Windows and macOS versions)
- Chromium based Edge for Windows. This is a recently released version of the Edge browser and must be downloaded and installed separately. * Installing this browser will replace the legacy version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 PCs.
For the most consistent experience we recommend using Panopto Capture with Google Chrome.
Who can use Panopto Capture?
To use Panopto Capture you will need to have Creator access to Panopto.
Anyone with Instructor or Course Builder access to a module area in Blackboard Learn will have Creator access by default.
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.
