Users may login to the Panopto website to view any live broadcasts that may be available at that time.

To do this, simply go to your Panopto server's website, and click the live session that you would like to watch. If access to the content is restricted to certain viewers, they will have to login with their credentials.

You can determine which sessions are broadcasting live because the icon will look like the following:
