Panopto (Student Guide)

Panopto is an online service which allows staff and students to create and share video resources.

It allows you to record or upload video and it also integrates with Canvas, so you can do this directly from within your course once you have downloaded a bit of software. Selected viewers can then see your recording once it has been uploaded.

Creating video and audio recordings as part of your learning can give you a chance to work in a different format, develop valuable new skills, and is an opportunity for reflection. But if you’ve never done anything like this before it can feel like a daunting process. Don’t panic!

All you need is a webcam or a device with a camera attached and a microphone. This guide explains how you can do this on your computer or mobile device. For more advice on how to improve the quality of your video, see our blog post: Simple tips to improve the quality of your video recordings.
