    2. Enable Panopto for Personal Meetings

    Note: If you want to use Panopto for your teams but not for your personal meetings, you still are required to authenticate for your personal meetings. To work around this, simply select the Pause Import button, as shown on the Settings tab in step 2.5. below, to stop meeting imports for your personal meetings. 

    2.1.  Panopto will now appear in the left-hand navigation of Teams (Fig. 2).  Note: When you load the app for the first time, your Panopto log-in page will appear. Select Authenticate and log in with the SSO provider of your choice with the related credential.

    2.2.  When you load the app for the first time, your Panopto log-in page will appear. Select and log in with the SSO provider of your choice with the related credential (Fig. 3a).

    2.2.a. If you are using an Azure AD SSO, a secondary pop-up window will appear, prompting you to select an account and authenticate in Microsoft. (Fig. 3b).

    2.3. Once you are logged into Panopto in Microsoft Teams, select the Settings tab and then select Authenticate from underneath Personal Meetings (Fig. 4).

    2.5. Once you are successfully authenticated, Panopto will appear connected and your teams will appear as options on the Settings tab (Fig. 6). Note: When a Team is connected, all meetings recorded on the team's public channels will be imported. Private channels will show up under their associated team as an extra tab and, as such, these channels must be individually connected in order for their recordings to import to Panopto.

    3. Enable Panopto for a Team

    3.2. In the left-hand navigation of the Settings tab, select the team for which you'd like to enable Panopto and then select Authenticate (Fig. 8).  Note: At this point, you may be asked to reauthenticate into Microsoft or to confirm your password.

    4. Mapping Your Meetings 

    Please note: if the user who enables Panopto for a Team leaves the Team or organization, you will need to reenable Panopto for that Team with a different user. Please see How to Reconfigure a Meeting Mapping in Microsoft Teams to reauthenticate Panopto for the Team. 
     

    4.1.  To set a default folder to which all meetings will be recorded, select Edit to the right of the folder listed under Default Recordings Folder (Fig. 10a). Select the folder you want your meeting recordings to go to by default, then select Save (Fig. 10b).

    4.2.  To configure specific folder mappings, select + Add New Mapping from underneath Meeting-Folder Mappings (Fig. 11a). Provide the meeting title from Microsoft Teams, select the folder to which it should be recorded, and then select Add (Fig. 11b). Note: Wildcards can be used to include words before or after the designated mapping by using an asterisk * for your wildcard search.

    4.3.  If you wish to configure the integration for multiple teams, select the corresponding Team's tab, and repeat the authentication process in step 3 above, and then map the recordings following step 4.  Note: Only one Team member can connect the integration on behalf of their whole Team. If this team member leaves the Team or organization, another member will have to reconfigure the meeting mapping(s). 

    5. Record Teams Meetings into Panopto

    5.1.  From inside an active Teams meeting, select the dropdown menu in the upper left-hand corner, then select Start recording (Fig. 12).
