How do I record videos that I can share with Panopto without having to download anything?

Panopto, the University’s centrally supported video platform, offers Panopto Capture, a screen recorder that you can access directly from your browser instead of downloading the desktop application. Panopto Capture allows you to record audio, video, multiple screens, and multiple applications at the click of a button. If you are on-campus, or have access to a fast and reliable broadband connection, you can record online directly to Panopto using Capture. The videos will then be ready to edit, add captions to, and share with students and colleagues in the Video Library.
