Download Video in 1080p

An instructor has students creating a video to be posted on YouTube and would like to have them use Panopto; however, when recording in UltraHD and downloading a video from Panopto, it is 720p and not high quality. The videos must be at least 1080p.

There are two settings for this, but in many cases the webcam being used by the students is going to be the limiting factor. The first is a site setting that will bump up the default that podcast downloads will aim for. This can be set up to 1080p60 out of the box. Next, you are able to select how a video should be encoded in the session settings. If you open the session settings and select the "Outputs" tab, you can then select the layout and the quality. If either of these parameters are changed, the Podcast media will be encoded again which can take a bit depending on the specific session.
Here's a guide on those settings, fig. 1.2 shows the UI: https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Download-Video-or-Audio-Streams-as-MP4s
