Enable audio in Panopto local channel recordings

Applies to: Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nexus.

By default, the local recordings that Panopto secondary channels produce on Pearl storage contain no audio.

Audio in a local recording follows the channel rather than the event. A channel records audio if an audio source is selected in that channel's active layout, so a secondary channel with no audio source in its active layout produces a silent local recording. To include audio in the local recordings for every channel, enable the setting below.

Enable embedded audio for local channel recordings using the Admin panel

• Log in to the Admin panel as admin.

• From the Configuration menu, click CMS. The Content management system configuration page opens.

• Under Settings, check Enable embedded audio for all local channel recordings.

• Click Apply at the bottom of the page.

Device differences

• Pearl Nano: Pearl Nano has a single channel, so it produces no secondary channel recordings.
