Panopto

Panopto-2.json

Panopto enables instructors to record lectures and create smaller screen recordings and presentations. When you start a Panopto recording in a Canvas course, the recording is saved to the course web automatically. Panopto is simple to use and it is possible to watch recordings in most browsers and smart devices. You can also use Panopto for live streams. This allows students to follow teaching in real time. The program is installed on most teaching computers at the University of Iceland and is a good tool for recording your teaching. You can also install Panopto on your own computer and record on that when convenient. 

Panopto is better than Studio for classroom recordings and for longer recordings (30 min +).
