If you are using Zoom to deliver content to your course synchronously, you can record to the cloud and have that recorded lecture automatically moved to UICapture.
Once you have decided you want to record using the Zoom cloud recording integration with UICapture, there are a few things that can happen. If you have previously logged in to UICapture, your recording will be sent to your My Folder in a new folder called Meeting Recordings. If you have not logged in to UICapture before, you will receive an email with a link to the recording that you can share. If you have a recording in this latter state and you need to edit/manage it, please contact the ITS Help Desk.
If you did not receive an email with a link to your recording in UICapture, it is likely that this recording will be listed in your Meeting Recordings folder.
If you would like to automatically route this recording to either a course or a department folder you can link a meeting ID to a folder in UICapture so new content is placed in the correct location behind the scenes.
Session Layout
All sessions recorded in Zoom will follow one of two layouts, depending on the number of participants. If there are two or fewer participants, Primary Stream: Gallery View from Zoom and Secondary Stream: Shared Screen (if present). If there are three or more participants, Primary Stream: Primary Speaker View from Zoom and Secondary Stream: Gallery View + Shared Screen (if present).
Automatic Session Routing
Sessions that are recorded using the Zoom Cloud Recording Integration can be automatically routed to a course or department folder. Sessions that are scheduled and set to automatically record through the ICON Zoom LTI will be routed to the corresponding course folder in UICapture.
Enriching a Zoom Recording with Slides
One of the powerful parts of a Panopto session is the ability to have a Table of Contents to reflect the content of the session. When the Panopto recorder is used to capture the session, this information is recorded along with your Audio/Video. When Zoom (alone) is used, this detail will not be present in the session that is created in UICapture.
Adding Smart Chapters
Panopto has a feature called Smart Chapters that you can use to automatically detect a table of contents in your recordings. Because this is an automatic process, it is not on by default. If you opt-in for Smart Chapters, we recommend reviewing the table of contents for errors prior to releasing your recording.
Adding a slide deck
If you have already recorded, you are able to add in slides to create the table of contents and add in search terms manually.
Recording slides
Because UICapture maintains accurate timestamps for the Zoom recordings, we can use the Merge function in UICapture to combine a Zoom recording with the slide content captured by the Panopto Recorder. This also provides an effective backup of your voice and the slides in case something goes awry with the capture in Zoom.
The processing overhead is minimal; however, it is recommended to test recording with Panopto and Zoom simultaneously on your computer before using this workflow to record an actual meeting or lecture.
Note: You can start the recording in Zoom before or after you start the Panopto Recorder. If you start Zoom first, that will be the Parent session in UICapture. If you start the Panopto Recorder first, that will be the Parent session that you merge the Zoom recording into.
Recording Slides + Audio in Panopto
To capture everything accurately, you will want to ensure that you have your microphone selected under Primary Sources and that you are only capturing PowerPoint under Secondary Sources. This will produce a session in UICapture that we can merge with the session produced from the Zoom recording.
Once you have started recording with the Panopto Recorder, you can present your content to your audience in Zoom. If you notice your computer slowing down, you can stop the recording in the Panopto Recorder and add the slides to an existing session.
After you have finished recording in Zoom, return to the Panopto Recorder and stop the recording. At this point, both sessions will upload and process.
Once you have determined that both sessions are processed correctly, you can merge the session that you recorded in the Panopto Recorder into the session you recorded in Zoom. This cannot be undone, so make a copy of your original Zoom session prior to attempting the merge.
