Panopto is Emerson’s video hosting platform. You can access Panopto through Canvas or by going to panopto.emerson.edu and logging in with your Emerson account.
First, Get Your Media Into Panopto
- Record a video using Panopto Capture. Go to panopto.emerson.edu and select Create > Panopto Capture.
- It’s also possible to upload existing video files. Please see Upload Video/Audio to Panopto. Upload videos to your My Folder, unless ITG has provided you with a specific folder.
Next, Place the Video in a Canvas Course
-
Embed the video in a Canvas page, assignment, or discussion using the Panopto-embed button (
) in the Rich Content Editor toolbar. Using this method ensures that everyone in the course will automatically have permission to view it, so you don't need to edit sharing settings. You can embed multiple videos on the same page.
- Shortcut: The Panopto-embed button also offers tabs for recording and uploading. So, if you know where you want to place a video in Canvas, you can go there and use this button as a one-stop-shop!
- For students submitting an assignment, click the Panopto-embed button, select My Folder, and then upload.
If You Need to Share the Video Outside of Canvas
- Edit the video's sharing settings to add your intended audience as viewers.
- Embed the video on a website or send its link via email. The people you shared with in the previous step will have access.
Additional Information
Panopto also offers desktop and mobile apps, through they are more complicated than recording through Panopto Capture. If you are using the desktop or mobile apps, the "host address" to enter is https://emerson.hosted.panopto.com.
