Panopto Recorder shows "Failed to Start Devices"

Please check the computer and see if the recorder software is blocked (e.g. by anti-virus program) and try again.

If you are using Kaspersky Anti-virus software, please make sure that Panopto is under the list of its “Trusted Applications”:

1. Open Kaspersky.
2. On the left menu bar, click “Security”, then click the 3 dots at the right of “Host Intrusion Prevention”, click “Settings”. 
3. Click “Manage Applications”.  
4. In “Manage applications” window, search “Panopto” using the top-right hand search bar. 
   In the Application list, make sure “Panopto Recorder” is set to trusted group (a.k.a. Green Color in Restrictions column). 
   If it is in other restricted groups, right click on “Panopto Recorder” and Select “Restrictions > Trusted”. Click “Confirm” if there are any warnings popped up.
