Overview

Panopto is a lecture capture tool that instructors can use to record and publish presentations online. It is able to capture audio, webcam video, PowerPoints, and desktop screens. It is a good tool to record narrated PowerPoints and computer tutorials.

As viewers, students can take notes, place bookmarks, and comment on the recordings. Students don't have the ability to record by default, but instructors can manually grant their students permission to record.

Access

To access Panopto, please go to http://uw.hosted.panopto.com/.

Panopto is integrated into Canvas. Instructors can enable a sidebar link to Panopto recordings by going to Settings, clicking on the Navigation tab, and dragging the Panopto Recordings to the course navigation. This link will take you to a page embedded in Canvas where you can view course related recordings.
