  1. To capture, log in to the Panopto web-based program with your Aalto user ID and click “+ Create” and “Panopto Capture”.   
  1. In the Panopto capture view, select which screens and windows you want to capture separately, in addition to the robot camera, and change the recording quality from low (SD) to high (Ultra HD) in the Panopto settings. You are then ready to make the recording.  
  1. When the recording is complete, the file will be automatically saved to your Panopto account. If you prefer, you can also save the file to your favourite cloud service or to your own hard drive.  
  1. When you exit, do not turn off your computer, but log out as your user. When you log out, all files stored on your computer will be deleted. If you have not transferred your files to a cloud or your own storage media, they will be deleted.
