Panopto Support & Guidance
This activity contains support and guidance regarding the use of Panopto, including how to record and/or upload video and audio, and subsequently embed the recording in your learning log.
Share Media
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.
Your Organisation: Allows anyone within OCA to access your video when provided with a link, via an embedded module or using the search feature available on Panopto.
Public (Unlisted): Allows anyone 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.
Public: Allows anyone to access your video when provided with a link, via an embedded module or using the search feature available on Panopto.
Please note that users outside of OCA cannot access and use 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.
Linking 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 ‘Link’ option, followed by ‘Copy Link’.
With the link now copied, navigate to your learning log and access or create a new blog post using either the Gutenberg or frontend editor, before highlighting the desired text and selecting the ‘Link’ (chain) icon. In the pop-up window, paste the link copied earlier.
