Scheduling a webcast in Panopto for lectures, events and conferences

In this guide you will learn how to schedule a webcast in Panopto. A webcast is similar to the webinar feature in Zoom in that you can schedule a webcast in advance and publish the link to the webcast on a web page or in communications.

For scheduling a webcast of a course lecture please see schedule a webcast in Canvas

Recording the webcast

A webcast is also a standard Panopto recording which can be published after the event. Recordings should be captioned before publishing. Live captioning is not available.

Starting your webcast

Log in to the PC in the event auditorium in good time before your event starts (I would leave up to 30 minutes to prepare for an important event). Once logged in, open the Panopto program on the computer and log in with the user that created the webcast (or with a user the event has been shared with). On the right hand side of the Panopto window you should see "Join Session" (see figure below). Click on this and select the correct scheduled session.

Ensure that both camera/s, microphone/s and presentations are correctly connected to Panopto (see Panopto recording guide), and then you are ready to click on the record button and start the session.
