Panopto on an i-device works a bit different than on a laptop or other computer.
As an i-device app Panopto is best used for viewing and uploading completed videos in GauchoCast. Panopto will not record your screen activity as it does in the desktop app. Panopto will record video and audio from the device's camera and microphone and the save that video to Photos. Note: At this time, a user is only able to create and/or upload recordings that are no longer than 10 minutes in length.
To save your on-screen actions like the desktop app you should use Apple's Screen Recording. The video will be saved to Photos. You can then use Panopto to upload the video to GauchoCast.

Note: At this time, a user is only able to create and/or upload recordings that are no longer than 10 minutes in length.
1. Logging In
1.1. After clicking on the App a dialogue box will pop up asking to use Panopto.com to sign-in. Click "Continue". This will bring-up the GauchoCast log-in screen. Select GauchoSpace from the drop-down as the sign-in method and click "sign-in". This will bring up the GauchoSpace log-in screen. Enter your Net-ID and password. Then select "Log-In." (Fig. 1).
Figure 1
1.2 After logging in to GauchoSpace, you will be directed to the Panopto Log-in Page.
Note: Sometimes we end-up with a mini-GauchoSpace webpage at 1.2. You can close that and then log into the Panopto App.
1.3 Enter the UCSB email address used for Panopto (should be same as Net-ID) and press "enter." This should take you to the Apps home page.
1.4 Note: It is recognized that the log-in process is a bit convoluted at this time and we have a ticket in with Panopto to try and streamline it.
2. Navigating the App

3.4. You can also download a video, or access its direct link, by selecting the three vertical dots on the videos preview image (Fig. 16a). Once selected, a pop up menu will appear allowing you to copy the link or download it to your device (Fig. 16b).
