What can instructors do in Panopto? Instructors can embed videos from the Panopto library into their Canvas course discussions or assignments. Instructors can also upload new videos for students in a specific course, or create new videos from a webcam, attached AV equipment, screen capture, or a tiled combination of the aforementioned options.
As an instructor, how do I use Panopto with Canvas? Select Course Videos in the sidebar navigation within Canvas to access your course folder in Panopto where you can upload content. Alternatively, you can embed videos that already exist in Panopto directly in your assignments or discussions using the V-shaped “More External Tools” button in the WYSIWYG editor.
How do I know if my videos are viewable to the general public? The simplest way is to open a private or incognito window in your browser and open the URL of the folder or video in question. Access settings can be changed on the “Share” menu for both folders and videos. “Anyone at Your Organization” is the most common value, and requires a login. Contact Panoptohelp@saic.edu if you have questions concerning access permissioning.
