This video is for faculty who would like to add Panopto videos to their courses.
Article Overview
If you are using Panopto for the first time, you will need to authorize your account. Follow the steps in Section 3 to do so.
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. View this article to learn about adding a Panopto video to an assignment.
1.1. Create a Page
Use the course navigation menu to access Pages.
Click on the View All Pages button at the top of the page.
1.2. Create a New Page
Click on the +Page button on the top right corner to add a page.
[1] Add a title. [2] If needed, add explanation or directions in the Rich Content Editor. In this example, we will add our Panopto video below the directions.
1.3. Add a Panopto Video to the Page
If you are using a previously recorded Panopto Video, make sure that you have allowed students access to it. See Section 1.3.3 to access an individual video's settings or Section 3 to access multiple videos' settings.
1.3.1. Access Content from the Panopto Video Button
Click on the Panopto button on the Rich Content Editor (RCE).
1.3.2. Add a Panopto Video
Choose a video. If you do not see your video, click on the dropdown menu and choose Everything.
Click on the green Insert button at the bottom right corner of the window.
1.3.3. Check Your Video's Access Settings
The video will be embedded into the page's Rich Content Editor (RCE). Check the video's settings by clicking on the diagonal arrow at the bottom of the video.
This will open a new tab with your video. Click on the settings gear at the upper right corner of the page.
Click on the [1] Share tab and the [2] Change link below to Who can access this video to change your sharing settings.
Choose Your Organization & Public (unlisted) to allow students to view your video easily. If you do not see this option, choose Public (unlisted). If you are teaching a HIPAA compliant course and the video contains sensitive information, choose Restricted.
If you copy a course and you had a restricted video, you will need to change who has access.
Close the settings window and the Panopto Tab. Switch back to your Canvas tab.
1.3.4. Save Your Page
Click the Save button at the bottom of the page if you want to continue working on this page. Click Save and Publish if you are ready for students to access the video.
This page will display your directions and your video. Add this page to a module to make it easy for your students to find.
2. Adding a Panopto Course Link and Accessing Your Panopto Folders
2.1. Adding the Panopto Video Link to Your Course Navigation Menu
You may want to make a folder of Panopto recordings available to your students or you may want to edit a video or folder of videos. If you are a new instructor, you will need to connect your Canvas account to your Panopto account. To do these actions, start by going to the Panopto Video link in your Course Navigation Menu. If you currently see a Panopto Video link in your Course Navigation Menu, skip to Section 2.2 of this article.
If you don't see a Panopto Video link in your Course Navigation Menu, select the Settings link from your Course Navigation Menu.
Choose the Navigation tab.
Scroll down until you see the Panopto Video link. Click on the three-dot shish kebab menu on the right.
Enable the link by clicking on the + Enable button.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Save button.
2.2. Accessing Your Panopto Folders
Click on the link for Panopto Video on your Course Navigation Menu.
If you do not see your Panopto folder on the Panopto Video page, you may need to authenticate your account first. Click on the button on the bottom left corner of the page to do so, and then you will be redirected to your Panopto Video page. If you are using an incognito browser, you will need to sign in.
On the Panopto Video page, you will see a drop down menu. By default, it will show the folder for [1] your course. You can find old Panopto videos by clicking on the drop down arrow to the right of your course folder and searching your other folders.
If you are teaching a HIPAA compliant course, you will not be able to record Zoom meetings to your Zoom Cloud. If you choose to record meetings manually, save them to a secure computer. Upload your video to your class folder on Panopto and make sure that your folder and video's sharing settings are set to Restricted (see Section 3 below).
If you plan to make Zoom Cloud recordings available to your students, you can use Panopto to share them. Search for your recordings by following these steps: [1] Click on the drop down arrow next to your course folder and find My Folder.
[2] Click on My Folder.
Within My Folder, you will find a subfolder: Meeting Recordings. [3] Click on Meeting Recordings.
The image below shows the contents of the Meeting Recordings folder. Students will not see My Folder or My Meetings folder contents. Section 3 will address Panopto sharing settings.
If you do not see My Folder, your Zoom and Panopto accounts are not integrated yet. After adding Panopto to your Course Navigation Menu, create and start a new Zoom meeting that is recorded to the Zoom Cloud. Check Panopto Video for My Folder and your Zoom recording.
3. Changing Video and Folder Sharing Settings
3.1. Adjusting Video Folder Settings
You can change the sharing settings for an entire course folder by accessing the gear on the right.
A settings window will appear. Choose the Share tab and click on Change to adjust your sharing settings for the folder.
For a HIPAA compliant course, choose [1] Restricted. For other courses, faculty may choose [2] Your Organization and Public (unlisted), or if this option is unavailable, Public (unlisted).
3.2. Changing Video Sharing Settings
You can create, edit, and change the settings for individual Panopto videos. To create or upload a video, click on the green + Create button.
You can use [1] the Panopto for Windows app, [2] create a Panopto video in your browser using Panopto Capture, or [3] upload an existing video from your device using Upload media.
If you would like to change the settings of an old video but you do not see it in your course folder, click on the [1] drop down menu and click on the [2] arrow to the left of My Folder. This will expand the folder and show other files.
By expanding My Folder, you will be able to view your recordings from different Canvas courses and Zoom Cloud recordings if your Zoom account is connected to your Panopto account. Zoom Cloud recordings will appear in Meeting Recordings.
Once you have opened the folder with a video you want to share, hover your mouse over the video. This will bring up the Settings button. Click on the Settings button.
A window for your video will open. In the Overview tab, you can turn off the feature for students to comment on videos.
Click on the [1] Share tab and the [2] Change link below to Who can access this video to change your sharing settings.
If you are teaching a HIPAA compliant course, you must choose Restricted. If you are not, you may also choose Public (unlisted).
