Enable Schedule Opt-in for scheduled Panopto events

Pearl Nano will by default start executing scheduled events at their scheduled start time. However, sometimes it may be required for a user to give confirmation that a previously scheduled to start as scheduled. For example to avoid Pearl device recording and uploading an empty classroom, the device can be configured for a scheduled recording to proceed only when the faculty is present. This can be helpful in lowering compute and storage costs.

When enabled by Pearl device administrator, every scheduled event must be confirmed by a user for the event to proceed. This confirmation can be given using the following methods:

• Pearl device front screen

• Delcom USB HID Programmable Single Button Switch, part number 706501 see, Connect a USB control button to control CMS events.

• Pearl device REST API

• On the events page of Pearl device Admin Panel

Enable Schedule Opt-in Admin panel

1. Log into the Admin panel as admin.

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

3. Under Settings, select Scheduled event opt-in and click Apply at the bottom of the page.
4. To disable this feature again, simply check Schedule event opt-in and click Apply.

 

Important considerations

1. If an scheduled event is not confirmed, Pearl device record or stream the event. The event will be marked as Not confirmed on Pearl device events page.

2. If an event is not confirmed on your Pearl device, during the scheduled time of the event, Pearl device, will show that event has not been confirmed and recording will not be happening. However, Panopto will show that the event is being recorded.

3. Your Panopto instance will send an email alert warning you that an unconfirmed event is past due.
