00:08.311 --> 00:15.473
If you're planning to stream your classroom sessions through the semester using Panopto, you can schedule your webcasts in advance.

00:16.714 --> 00:23.876
Go to Panopto Video in your course, and then from the top right, select Open Panopto.

00:25.316 --> 00:28.357
From here, you'll see that it brings us straight to our course folder.

00:29.938 --> 00:35.520
So when the webcast actually takes place, the recording of that webcast will end up in the correct place for students to access.

00:36.937 --> 00:40.418
From here, we can click Create and then Webcast.

00:41.839 --> 00:45.381
And you'll notice that the Create button in Canvas doesn't have this option.

00:45.801 --> 00:48.762
So that's why we need to use this button to open it in Panopto.

00:49.922 --> 00:51.983
So we click Create Webcast.

00:53.264 --> 00:55.185
And from here, we can just give it a name.

00:56.525 --> 01:02.908
The date will work quite well, or you give it the title of the lecture if you know what that is ahead of time.

01:04.048 --> 01:06.049
You can also include a description.

01:07.358 --> 01:14.000
So that we can see what that looks like, I'll just put an example text in there and click create.

01:15.740 --> 01:16.481
And then that's it.

01:16.961 --> 01:19.301
Your class session webcast is scheduled.

01:21.742 --> 01:27.044
The reason you might want to do this is right here for the viewer link.

01:28.184 --> 01:31.005
This allows you to copy this link and share it with your students.

01:32.625 --> 01:35.206
So then when we come back to Canvas, we just

01:36.525 --> 01:41.109
refresh this page and we can see that our scheduled webcast is here.

01:42.970 --> 01:56.902
However, it is important to note that, well, let's look at it from the student view because students don't see the link for a video which has not started or that you haven't initiated.

01:58.306 --> 02:01.809
and it will not appear here until you actually start the webcast.

02:03.130 --> 02:13.298
So, for example, if a student lands on this page to access your webcast even just a few seconds before you start it, they're not going to see it here.

02:15.020 --> 02:17.042
And this could cause some serious confusion.

02:18.162 --> 02:25.969
So what you could do instead is maybe create a page in your course orientation module where students can access the session at the appropriate time.

02:29.375 --> 02:35.778
However, of course, you do not need to schedule your sessions in advance and create a page to share those links with your students.

02:36.478 --> 02:46.282
It might work just as well for you and your students at the appropriate time on the day when you're ready to start your recording, just to go to your Canvas course, select Create,

02:46.801 --> 02:49.082
and then record a new session and open Panopto.

02:50.403 --> 02:58.187
And here you can just click the webcast option and the link will appear at the bottom here once you start recording.

02:59.348 --> 03:07.632
You can then copy that link and maybe come to your course and drop it in an announcement for your students so they have access to it right away.

03:09.930 --> 03:21.412
So for example, you might do this 15 minutes before the class starts to open your webcast, grab the link, drop the LinkedIn announcement, and then wait for your students to join.

03:23.652 --> 03:26.433
You'll figure out what works best for you and your students.

03:27.113 --> 03:31.514
You have your own way of organizing and communicating information in your course.

03:32.214 --> 03:37.675
You just want to make sure that you're not necessarily relying on students coming here to Panopto

03:39.833 --> 03:48.955
to access those sessions because again they won't be available and if they get there even a few seconds before you start they might not realise that.

03:50.936 --> 03:54.097
Then they will need to keep refreshing the page until that link is available to them.

03:57.238 --> 04:00.179
Just one more quick tip if you do schedule your sessions in advance.

04:00.519 --> 04:03.539
Something helpful that you can do is include a preview image.

04:04.980 --> 04:09.101
This displays an image in the waiting room for students along with the title

04:12.848 --> 04:13.968
of the lecture.

04:15.629 --> 04:29.754
So if you do schedule your sessions in advance and your students join the viewer link before you do, before you initiate the session, they'll just be sitting in a waiting room kind of looking at this image as well as your name and description.

04:31.095 --> 04:37.937
That could be really helpful just to help students know that they're in the right place and that they've clicked the correct link for that day.

04:39.910 --> 04:52.417
Finally, when you are ready to start the webcast, what you'll do is come to Panopto Video in your course, click Create and record a new session to open the Panopto Video Recorder.

05:04.813 --> 05:10.198
and then from here you're going to look for this join session button instead of just starting a new one.

05:11.680 --> 05:17.746
You want to pick the one that you scheduled from your lists and then you're ready to hit record and start that session.
