Online Education for Students: Panopto

Panopto is a video recording service. You may have assignments through Canvas' Panopto app. 

For instructions on downloading Panopto, see the support articles for Windows and Mac respectively. For mobile app instructions, see this article. See minimum system requirements here. 

Key tip: Login to your computer and open any applications and files that you will use during your recording. For example, if you wanted to show PowerPoint slides, a web page, and an image in a PDF document, you would open your PowerPoint file, your web browser, and the PDF file. Panopto will use all of the RAM, cache space, and processing power available when it is launched. Opening your presentation materials before opening Panopto ensures that computer resources are reserved for those processes. (citation).
