Question 1
A faculty member wants to start recording a lecture that includes their webcam, microphone, and
a PowerPoint presentation. In the Panopto recorder application, which three sources should they
select before clicking "Record"?
A) Primary Audio, Primary Video, and Screen Capture
B) Secondary Audio, Secondary Video, and PowerPoint
C) Primary Audio, Primary Video, and PowerPoint
D) Primary Audio, Main Screen, and Secondary Video
E) Microphone, Webcam, and Folder
Correct Answer: C) Primary Audio, Primary Video, and PowerPoint
Rationale: In the Panopto recorder, "Primary Audio" is for the main microphone, and
"Primary Video" is for the main webcam. To capture a presentation, the user should select
the "PowerPoint" option (or "Slides"). Panopto will then ingest the slides as a separate
stream with timestamps and indexable text, which is more powerful than a simple screen
capture.
Question 2
What is the primary function of the Panopto "Capture Main Screen" option?
A) To record only the user's webcam.
B) To capture everything that is happening on the user's primary monitor as a video stream.
C) To automatically take screenshots of the screen every 10 seconds.
D) To record the audio from the computer's speakers.
E) To capture the slides from a PowerPoint presentation.
Correct Answer: B) To capture everything that is happening on the user's primary monitor
as a video stream.
Rationale: "Capture Main Screen" is the option for a screen recording. It captures all
motion, including mouse movements, software demonstrations, and web browsing, on the
,[Type here]
selected monitor. This is different from the "PowerPoint" option, which specifically ingests
the slide deck itself.
Question 3
After a recording is finished and uploaded to the Panopto server, what is the default initial state
of the video?
A) It is immediately available to the public.
B) It is being processed and is not yet viewable.
C) It is published and shared with everyone in the course folder.
D) It is deleted if not edited within 24 hours.
E) It is automatically downloaded to the creator's computer.
Correct Answer: B) It is being processed and is not yet viewable.
Rationale: When a recording is uploaded, it enters a processing queue on the Panopto
server. During this time, Panopto creates different quality versions for various devices,
indexes the content for search, and generates automatic captions. The video is not available
to viewers until this processing is complete.
Question 4
What is the primary advantage of recording a PowerPoint presentation using the "PowerPoint"
source in Panopto instead of just using "Screen Capture"?
A) It uses significantly less storage space on the server.
B) It allows the viewer to navigate the presentation using a table of contents, and it makes the
slide text searchable.
C) It records the presentation at a much higher video quality.
D) It is the only way to record the audio along with the slides.
E) It automatically removes any animations from the slides.
Correct Answer: B) It allows the viewer to navigate the presentation using a table of
contents, and it makes the slide text searchable.
Rationale: When Panopto ingests a PowerPoint file, it treats it as a distinct stream. It
automatically creates a table of contents from the slide titles and indexes all the text on the
slides. This makes the video much more user-friendly, allowing viewers to jump to specific
topics and search for keywords within the presentation.

Question 5
A user wants to remove the first 30 seconds from the beginning of their Panopto recording. In the
Panopto editor, what is the correct action?
A) Use the "Delete" tool to erase the first 30 seconds.
B) Click and drag the start handle of the timeline 30 seconds to the right.
C) Use the "Split" tool at the 30-second mark.
D) Re-record the entire video.
E) Add a 30-second blank slide at the beginning.
Correct Answer: B) Click and drag the start handle of the timeline 30 seconds to the right.
Rationale: The Panopto editor is non-destructive. To "trim" the beginning or end of a
video, the user simply clicks and drags the gray start or end handles on the timeline. This
tells the player where to begin and end playback without permanently deleting any content.
Question 6
What does the "Scissors" tool in the Panopto editor do?
A) It permanently deletes a section of the video.
B) It splits a video into two separate videos.
C) It cuts out a section from the middle of the video for playback, without permanently deleting
it.
D) It is used to add a new video clip into the timeline.
E) It trims the beginning or end of the video.
Correct Answer: C) It cuts out a section from the middle of the video for playback, without
permanently deleting it.
Rationale: The scissors tool is used for non-destructive editing of the middle of a recording.
The user clicks and drags the tool over a section of the timeline to mark it as "cut." During
playback, the Panopto player will seamlessly skip over this marked section. The original
content is preserved and can be restored at any time.
Question 7
A creator has finished editing their video and wants the changes to be visible to viewers. What is
the final, essential step they must take in the editor?
A) Click the "Save" button.
, [Type here]
B) Click the "Publish" or "Apply" button.
C) Close the editor window.
D) Export the video as an MP4 file.
E) Share the video with their students.
Correct Answer: B) Click the "Publish" or "Apply" button.
Rationale: Making edits in the Panopto timeline only creates a draft of the changes. For
these changes (trims, cuts, added quizzes, etc.) to be applied and made visible to anyone
viewing the video, the creator must click the "Publish" (or "Apply" in newer versions)
button in the top right corner of the editor.
Question 8
What is the purpose of adding "Captions" to a Panopto video?
A) To provide a transcript for search engines.
B) To make the video content accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, and to
support universal design.
C) To add titles and lower thirds to the video.
D) To create a table of contents for the video.
E) To automatically translate the video into different languages.
Correct Answer: B) To make the video content accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard
of hearing, and to support universal design.
Rationale: The primary purpose of captions is to provide a time-synchronized text version
of the audio content. This is essential for accessibility compliance (e.g., ADA) for deaf and
hard-of-hearing viewers. It also benefits many other learners, such as those in noisy
environments or non-native speakers.
Question 9
Panopto can automatically generate captions for a video using a technology known as:
A) Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
B) Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
C) Manual Transcription Service (MTS)
D) Natural Language Processing (NLP)
E) Text-to-Speech (TTS)
