Panopto has another application for recording other than Capture. Panopto Recorder allows you to download an application and record video without needing to have an internet application. The controls and settings are also somewhat easier to grapple than Capture.
Take a look at the video tutorial for the desktop app and our supplemental tutorial on deleting recordings saved locally on the computer.
