Offline Viewing / Downloading

In Panopto Focus 3.0, you may download recordings into an offline format.  The offline recording may then be put on a CD or DVD or shared somewhere on your network for users to download.  This feature is helpful for users who may not have Internet access or have slower (dial up) access and need viewing access to recordings.

The process for downloading lectures is very simple and only available for Admins, Videographers, and Creators.  Users with viewer accounts do not have the ability to download lectures.

1. Go to http://yourpanoptoserver/Panopto/Pages/Default.aspx# and insert your username and password.  Click "Log In" (If Active Directory is enabled, please choose the appropriate domain, from the "Log In Using" drop down box). You will be automatically redirected to the Sessions page.

2. Navigate to the folder that your session is located in. Once you are in the folder you will see all recorded sessions. Move your mouse over any item in the list of sessions. Icons will appear to the right. Click the "Settings" icon (the icon that looks like  ). The Settings window will appear.

3. At the top of the Settings window, click the tab labeled "Outputs".

4. In the area labeled "Edits" you will see either the default edit or other edits that have been created. In the column labeled "Viewer" click the "Download" link. 

The ZIP file that you will download contains several files.  To play the offline version of the recording, simply extract the contents of the ZIP file and open the "Default.htm" file in your default browser.

All functionality of the normal Panopto Viewer will still be available with the exception of Notes and Search since that material is stored on your Panopto SQL database.
