07. Merge and Copy Sessions

InformationSession copy can now be done with a single click. The Merge function still allows you to repair separated recordings as well. Separated recordings may occur when Sessions are being captured from two or more computers.

Since Panopto allows you to record Audio and Video from one computer and secondary sources like PowerPoint and Screen Capture from another, it’s possible that these streams get recorded to two separate Sessions (one with video/audio and one with screen capture/ PowerPoint).
