Body
Overview
Panopto is a video capture tool that can be used to record then share classroom lectures. In addition to recording videos using the Panopto application, Panopto has a web portal that can be used to upload previously recorded videos from Zoom and other sources, then share them with the University community.
Staff who have not created Panopto content in the past, and Faculty who have not used a Panopto enabled course will need to request a non-academic account for Panopto. Faculty who have used Panopto enabled courses in the past can use their existing access through Blackboard to upload content, whether for course-related or non-course-related use. To request non-academic access, see the Panopto Service page. For help uploading content through Blackboard, see the link in the See Also section below
