Panopto Information

• Panopto can be used to store or create videos and screen-captures through their web app integrated into Canvas and the desktop app for recording
• Panopto is the preferred video storage system for the college, as there is no timeline for deleting videos. If videos have not been viewed in four years, they are moved to an archive, from which they can always be restored.
• Panopto also allows you to track who has been watching videos to ensure student engagement.
• Panopto and Zoom can work together in your Canvas course to allow you to record Zoom meetings for your class and have them automatically be converted to Panopto for long-term viewing within the course.
• You can add a quiz to existing videos and make it a graded assignment that appears in the Canvas grade book.

• Video on how to access and use the basics of Panopto
• You can access Panopto through Canvas
  • Go to one of your Canvas courses and select the Panopto Recordings option in the left navigation pane.
  • If the Panopto Recordings link is not visible you will need to manage your course navigation list to make it visible.
• From there, you can launch the recorder app to start creating a new video, or organize your videos into your course folders.
  • You can download the Panopto app on SVC devices through IT’s Software Center
  • If the app prompts you to log in, on the sign-in page, use the drop-down menu and select the SVC Official Canvas option to be logged in through your Canvas account.
• After you record your video, you can edit it through the Panopto video editor to do things like trim the video, add captions, and more.

• Panopto videos can be embedded throughout your Canvas course. You can embed videos in places like Discussions, Pages, Assignments, and more.
• You can have Panopto Recording in your course navigation list and allow students to access it to see any videos you have put in that course’s folder.
  • You can also choose to copy and move videos between folders
• You can choose to share individual videos or share entire video folders. In general, we recommend that you set your video/folder to be “Unlisted” when sharing to allow your videos to be easily accessed by anyone you provide with a link to them.

Sometimes students need to download your class Panopto recordings, so they can listen or watch them offline. Before students can download those recordings, the instructor has to change the settings of the recording to allow them to download it.
