Connect Panopto Videos to Canvas

Updated on

This video is for faculty who would like to add Panopto videos to their courses.


1. Add Panopto Video to a Page

Panopto videos can be added to a page or assignment as an embedded video within the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE). This means students can view the video alongside text and other content an instructor has added using the RCE. In this example, we will add a Panopto video to a page.
