About Panopto Recordings
Panopto is a tool used by many instructors at the Seattle Colleges to record and distribute their own instructional videos. Instructors may record brief video presentations from their homes or offices, or even use Panopto to record full-length classroom sessions. Some instructors even ask students to use Panopto to create their own recordings. Panopto is available through Canvas and does not require a separate login to view instructional videos, but you may have to log in if you are recording videos yourself.
To watch Panopto videos in your course:
- Make sure you are using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari all have trouble loading Panopto videos
- Look for the video in your course
- Some instructors will load the video directly onto a Page, while others will supply you a link
- Others may ask you to go into the "Panopto Recordings" navigation option
- You may be prompted to authorize Panopto access--click OK to authorize access so you can watch the videos
- If you see a gray box, click "Panopto Recordings" in the course navigation menu and authorize your Panopto access, then return to your video and it should display

- Note: By default, only instructors can record with Panopto. Instructors who wish their students to record Panopto videos must configure their classrooms to allow this. If your instructor has not made this configuration, you will be unable to record videos for that class using Panopto.
