Panopto: Class Recording

Interested in recording your class? Panopto is Pepperdine University’s lecture capture system integrated into Courses by Sakai and will archive your course session recordings for up to five years.

Courses hosts the Panopto features which are automatically linked with Zoom’s recording features when accessed through Courses’ Zoom Pro Tool.

If you plan on recording your class more than once a semester, you can easily set this up through Zoom Recording.  The recordings you save with Zoom will be automatically saved to Panopto. Zoom recordings will only save videos for six months so Panopto acts as an automatic backup that saves videos where they can be accessed for much longer.

Videos can also be recorded and edited within Panopto. There are different recording options, such as:

  • Audio– all recordings capture audio by default
  • PowerPoint– records the presentation slides you show on the class computer by default
  • Video– available for classrooms with cameras, records the front of the room only
  • Primary Screen– records any applications you use on the class computer, such as  Documents, Web pages, Excel Files, Courses pages, etc.

For more specific informational videos on Panopto, please refer to the links under the “Faculty” heading of this page. If you have questions or assistance please reach out to us via support@law.pepperdine.edu and a member of the Information Services team will be glad to assist you.

Login to Panopto with your WaveNet Credentials

If you’ve ever had to miss class before, then you may have asked the professor to have the session recorded via Panopto. You then received a viewing link to view the recording and all you had to do was click on the link and Presto! the recording appeared. Only one small issue with that… a little thing called “security”.

In an effort to ensure a more secure environment for all class recordings, the Panopto service has now moved to an online authentication that prompts you to log into the service with your Pepperdine WaveNet credentials.

This means that when you get a viewing link now, you may have to “login” before you can view the session. This is super easy as long as you have a current Pepperdine network ID. All you have to do is follow the 3 steps listed below to login and “Viola” you’re watching your riveting class recording in no time!
