Panopto Recordings

Panopto is a versatile video platform allowing faculty to capture, manage, and share video content seamlessly within Canvas. It supports lecture recording, screen sharing, and interactive features like quizzes and searchable transcripts, making it ideal for creating engaging, accessible video lessons. With AI-powered tools for auto-captioning and video search, Panopto helps turn static videos into dynamic learning resources that students can revisit and interact with on their own time.


What You Can Do With It

Panopto empowers Bellevue College faculty to enhance hybrid and online courses by integrating professional-grade video without complex setups. It’s particularly useful for asynchronous teaching, where videos become central to student engagement and retention.

Record Lectures Effortlessly

Capture live sessions or pre-recorded content with one-click recording from your computer, webcam, or classroom hardware.

Embed Interactive Elements

Add quizzes, discussion prompts, and clickable notes directly into videos to boost student interaction and assessment.

Search and Transcribe Videos

Use built-in search to find key moments in transcripts, ensuring content is accessible and easy to navigate.

Share Securely Across Courses

Upload and distribute videos with privacy controls, integrating them into Canvas for seamless student access.

Access Panopto through your Canvas course navigation menu—look for the “Panopto Recordings,” or add it via Settings > Navigation if needed. From there, you can start a new recording, upload existing files, or browse your video library.
