Request a scheduled recording outside of class time

Last updated: February 1, 2024
Audience: Instructors

To schedule an automated Panopto recording during a time outside of your regular course schedule, you must fulfill the scheduling requirements listed below and email the requested information to help@uw.edu.

Requirements for scheduling:

  • You must be listed in the Time Schedule as the Instructor of Record or in the Canvas course as a Teacher or TA.*
  • You must already have a confirmed room reservation. To reserve a general assignment classroom, please fill out the room request form several weeks in advance. 
  • If you are an instructor hoping to set up automated Panopto recordings for class sessions as part of your regular course schedule, use the Recording Scheduler in Canvas. Learn more about the Recording Scheduler Tool.

*We are unable to schedule recordings for quiz sections, and we will not manually schedule recordings for independent study course sessions or events not specifically intended for students within an academic course. However, instructors may record on their laptops and use the classroom microphones and cameras if the classroom has an AV Bridge.

Once you have fulfilled the scheduling requirements, email help@uw.edu  with the following information at least two business days prior to the recording start time:

  • Your UW NetID
  • Course Name and Section
  • Canvas course URL (i.e. https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/#######)
  • Building Name and Room Number
  • Session Reservation Name
  • Date(s)
  • Start Time(s)
  • End Time(s)
  • Do you want to live stream the recording?

NOTE: We are NOT able to schedule a Panopto recording over the phone. We need the above information in writing via email.
