Audio visual requirements

Many teaching spaces at Imperial College are already set up with the equipment required for you to use Panopto []. If you are recording away from campus, your device will need a microphone and webcam (if you intend to capture video).

You can use your device’s built-in camera if it has one. If not, you can use an external camera: these usually come with their own installation guide and we recommend you follow the instructions stated. Panopto does not require video to make a recording.

You can your computer's built-in microphone or the built-in microphone on your camera if either device has one. If your computer and webcam do not have built-in microphones, you must connect an external microphone, even if you do not intend to use sound (you can mute it), as Panopto will not make a recording without audio input.
