Panopto Focus is a software based recording solution that has been in testing at UVa since 2008. In the fall of 2012, integration into UVaCollab was introduced in our first public pilot. In 2013, this tool was fully integrated into UVaCollab. You can add the tool to your site if you would like to use it: from within your UVaCollab site, go toSite Info > Edit Tools and select Panopto.
Panopto Focus Version 5.2 5 is the current version as of August 20162017. (Please update your software)
Background - Panopto Focus
Panopto was created by faculty and staff of Carengie Mellon in 2007. Panopto Focus is being hosted at uva.hosted.panopto.com. Recordings originate and raw files are stored on the local recording PC or Mac computer. The files are then uploaded to the encoding servers at Panopto for processing. Links to the recordings are available once they have been processed through UVaCollab for your class.
Getting Started
1) Install the Panopto Tool
Panopto is provided as a Tool in UVaCollab. To install the tool select Site Info > Edit Tools > Panopto. Please do this at least a day in advance of needing to record.
2) Download the Recording Software
When the Panopto tool is selected, the Panopto web interface will open. Select the Download Panopto button and select the appropriate Panopto software version to download and install. The classroom computers should already have the software installed. By default, instructors and/or administrators are the only people that can record for a given collab site.

Panopto files are managed at a hosted site. We will delete files in old folders after 2 years of inactivity in the folder. If you want to archive your files for a longer period of time, I would recommend creating mp4 downloads of the files and storing them on your UVa Box drive or in Kaltura. Instructions for downloading your recordings can be found at http://support.panopto.com/articles/Documentation/how-download-podcasts-0
