Create, Edit, and Share your videos with Panopto

There are two ways to create a Panopto video:

  1. From your Canvas course:
    1. Login to Canvas at canvas.temple.edu
    2. Go to any course and click on Panopto Video on the left side menu
    3. Click on Create. This creates the video in that Canvas Course.
  2. From your Panopto personal folder (My Folder):
    1. Login to Panopto at: video.temple.edu with your SSO (single sign on) credentials
    2. Click on Create. This creates the video in your personal My Folder in Panopto.

Panopto supports many video file formats, including AVI, MP4, MPG, WMV, MOV, QT, ASF, 3GP, WMA, MP3, M4V.

If your videos are not already in Panopto, go to the folder where you want your videos and upload them.
For a quick video on how to do that please watch:

Videos created from the Panopto Video area in a Canvas course will be viewable by the students in your class if they click on Panopto Video in the Canvas course or if the video has been embedded or linked correctly in the course. Please follow the steps below to embed or link your videos in your Canvas course.

Videos created in your personal folder in Panopto are private by default, but can be shared by changing your sharing setting for the video.

Did you know you can add a quiz to videos created outside of Panopto as well as those created with the product?
You can also turn a video quiz into a Canvas Assignment with Gradebook scoring.

There are two options for recording with Zoom, depending on the quality of the recording needed:

  • Cloud recording: Conveniently record synchronous sessions directly to the cloud
  • Local recording: For the best quality when recording your speaker view

(NOTE: The speaker view records a low resolution recording at 640x360 when recording directly to the cloud. It is recommended if you need a better quality recording in speaker view, to record to the local computer).

Recording to the Cloud - Click to expand

1. After you have started your meeting, click on the Record button along the bottom of the Zoom window and select Record to the Cloud or Record to the local computer
2. To pause a Zoom recording, click on Pause in the upper left corner of the meeting window
3. To stop a Zoom recording, click on Stop in the upper left corner of the meeting window. Then click "Yes" when asked if you are sure you would like to stop the recording.
4. To pause a recording when screen-sharing, hover your cursor along the top of the screen so that the Zoom controls appear. Then click on More and click Pause Recording.
5. To stop a recording when screen-sharing, hover your cursor along the top of the screen so that the Zoom controls appear. Then click on More and click Stop Recording. Then click Yes when asked if you are sure you would like to stop the recording.
