Panopto assignments

Follow the steps on this page if you have been asked to submit a Panopto video (or audio) assignment for one of your Moodle papers.

Note:

• These steps apply to the new Panopto assignments in Moodle. They will have a green-on-grey icon like the image below in step 1.
• Depending on the assignment instructions, you may first need to record and edit your assignment using Panopto or other software, or you may be asked/choose to record directly to your Moodle assignment (see below).
• Panopto works with many file types including: .wmv, .asf, .wma, .flv, .f4v, .f4a, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .m4a, .m4v, .3gp, .mov, .qt
• You can record using phones, cameras, video cameras, and webcams.

Find the assignment

A. Browser

If you'd like to use the browser version of Panopto, select Launch Capture under Capture (Browser) on the left.

1. This will open a new tab in which a recording screen will appear. To start and stop your recording, select the red circle at the bottom middle of the screen.
2. After stopping the recording, you can review your recording. Here you can also select the buttons on the right to Redo or Edit your recording.

3. If you are happy with your recording, close the tab. Your recording should now appear in your Panopto submission box. Here, you can again review and select Start Over under the recording, otherwise select the Insert button at the bottom right.
   
4. You are now ready to submit your assignment. See the Submit section at the bottom of this page for more information.

B. App

Note:
If you do not already have the Panopto App select Download below Launch App and follow the prompts.

Submit your assignment

If you haven't yet done so, it's a good idea to select Show video preview to review the file you are submitting, then you can select Submit at the bottom right.
