Lecture Capture

The Classrooms and Seminar rooms in the SEC and 114 Western Ave offer the ability to schedule automatic reoccurring recordings for classes throughout the semester. When scheduled, these recordings will automatically start/stop at the specified class dates and times and upload to the courses Panopto Folder for students to view.  

SEAS AV Services will offer Lecture Capture for your course(s) for the upcoming 2025 Fall Term.  Please allow up to 72 hours from submission for your recording to be scheduled.

Lecture Capture Request Form - Fall 2025

  • The Lecture Capture recording will capture the instructor view camera at the back of the room and the content being sent to the screen in the room.
  • The recording will also capture audio from the ceiling microphones and/or the wireless microphones in the user cabinet if you are in a sloped or flat floor classroom. It is recommended to use the wireless microphones if they are available in your room for the best audio quality for the recording.
  • The camera can be controlled using the touch panel in the room by going to the "Camera Controls" page at the top. There is a "Wide" preset to capture as much of the room as possible and a "Narrow" preset to zoom in on the front of the room.
  • When the recording is scheduled, it will begin and end at the dates and times you provide. You do not need to start/stop the recording in the room.
  • Please ensure the AV system is turned on before the start of your recording by interacting with the touch panel in the room to turn on the system even if you do not need to use the system. The AV system needs to be turned on for the camera to wake up and record your event.
  • If you would like to schedule a time to meet with a Support Specialist to review the AV capabilities in your space please email us.
