Step 1. Login to the Panopto web site
Using your browser of choice, go to the Panopto web site at https://sunydownstate.hosted.panopto.com and login with your Blackboard Learn credentials.
NOTE: If you are in the Panopto Client desktop application, clicking Manage Online Recordings will launch the Panopto web site and automatically log you in.
Locate your course's folder using the Browse tab in the sidebar.
Alternatively, the Everything tab is aggregate view of all sessions to which you have viewing or publishing rights — you may quickly locate your session here.
Step 2. Enter Edit mode for your session
Hover the cursor over your session and click the Edit button which appears.
Your session should automatically open in the edit view:
Note the various streams located to the bottom-right of the window.
- P1 is the primary stream, and typically contains the audio and video of the presenter.
- S1 is the secondary stream, usually containing video of the main presentation.
- SL is the stream of slide images generated from the PowerPoint of Keynote presentation that was captured.
Step 3. Trim your session
Click your mouse on the P1 stream. The vertical red line that appears is called the playhead.
Place the playhead at the exact starting point of your lecture. Locating the exact starting point may take some trial-and-error. You can view your session by clicking on the triangular play button 
.
Once you are satisfied that the playhead is located to your satisfaction, hover the cursor over the beginning of the P1 stream (i.e., timestamp 0:00). A gray handle will appear.
Click and drag the handle to the right until it snaps to the playhead.
Repeat the process at the other end of your session.
The grayed out areas will not be included in your published session, but will remain available in edit mode should you wish to restore them at a later day.
Note: It is also possible to edit out sections within the body of your session using the above techniques.
Step 4. Apply your changes
To apply your edits, click the blue Apply button in the tool bar at the top of the editor window.
You can now safely close the editor window.
Your session will appear grayed out in your Panopto folder at it is processing.
Give yourself a pat on the back — you have published your Panopto session!
