Frequently asked questions

What happend to UICapture? 
UICapture (Panopto)'s software has been running on servers in the university data center.  Moving the UICapture (Panopto) software to be hosted by Panopto (the company that makes the software) brings several benefits to Iowa, including getting new features quicker, faster bug fixes, and several feature enhancements.  This move also means that the address for all UICapture sites have merged into https://uicapture.hosted.panopto.com.  

Can I still use UICapture to record lectures?
Yes, you can still use UICapture to record lectures and deliver video to students. Starting August 1st, you will need to be running Recorder Version 6.0 or later. All previous versions are no longer supported. https://teach.uiowa.edu/UICapture/Download 

Why was the UICapture Recordings Tool removed from my course?
There is a new tool to integrate your ICON courses with UICapture. All of the content lives in the same folders, once you enable the "UICapture" ("Recordings" is no longer included) tool under your course site navigation you should find all of the content you had. If you do not, please contact the ITS Help Desk.

What new features can I find inPanopto 6.0?
Moving from Panopto 5.6 to Panopto 6.0 presents an opportunity to adopt features from several newer versions of Panopto. Release notes for specific features and changes can be found here.

Do I have to update all my links?
Not at first, but we do recommend that all users update any hard-coded / static links in their ICON courses, webpages, or other locations to point the new https://uicapture.hosted.panopto.com location.  Links to videos pointing to the old addresses will continue to work for one year after migration. This also includes any Embeds made with the old UICapture Recordings tool. Becuase there is a new format for this embedded content you will need to update your links to take advantage of the new analytics features.

How do I know when my content is done being moved?
All content has been moved to the Hosted platform, should you find any missing content, please contact the ITS Help Desk.

Do I have to add content back into ICON?
Links will work for now, but Quizzes will need to be added to their assignment using the new integration. We recommend updating links to all content within your courses as soon as you can to ensure the most consistent experience.

Who do I contact if I have any questions?
Please reach out to the Help Desk for support or with questions about the move.
