Panopto Support & Guidance

By default, any uploaded or recorded media will only be accessible to yourself. To make media accessible to others, first locate the video via the ‘My Folders’ option, located in the upper left of the Panopto homepage, and select ‘Share’.

Within the pop-up interface, you can then share the media with a specific individual(s) using the ‘Add people or groups’ option. Alternatively, you can select the blue ‘Change’ option, to make broader accessibility changes. Selecting the ‘Change’ option, the available options are as follows;

Your Organisation (Unlisted): Allows anyone within OCA to access your video when provided with a link or via an embedded module. ‘Unlisted’ prevents the video from being found using the search feature, available on Panopto.

Embed Media

Please note that embedding video requires students to use the Gutenberg Editor. Alternatively, using either editor, students can also link media.

With the video and/or audio available on Panopto, access and locate the media via the ‘My Folder’ option, available in the upper left of the Panopto homepage, and select ‘Share’.

Located beneath the ‘Who can access this video’ heading, select the ‘Embed’ option, before selecting any appropriate options or settings, and finally ‘Copy Embed Code’.

With the embed code now copied, navigate to your learning log and access or create a new blog post using the Gutenberg editor, before inserting a ‘Custom HTML’ block, whereby you can paste the embed code.

With the video and/or audio now accessible via your learning log, you’ll need to amend the video privacy settings, as outlined in the Share Media chapter.
