Tips

When you are done recording the video, and you go through the upload process, please know that this takes time. It is recommended you do not use the computer while the video uploads to Panopto’s servers. The upload does multiple tasks and requires patience:

Upload
Processing on the server (taking the bits and pieces and put back in one file)
Record or park the video
Automatically close caption
Automatically begin the clue or key words for search

Tip: Short Videos

One of the best ways to cut uploading time and engage your audience is to keep your videos short or “chunk” the video. The golden rule of thumb for chunking videos is 7 – 8 minutes. That would be challenging for lectures. Consider breaking your lectures or recordings into multiple parts.
