Panopto Video


Panopto is the University's video hosting and streaming service.  You will find recordings of your learning sessions from your module team in Brightspace.  Navigate to the module you are studying and access the appropriate folder, here you will find links to the recorded learning sessions.

The guides below show you how to make use of the service, including its accessibility features:

  • Using the Video Viewer
    The Panopto Viewer offers accessibility features that allow users to easily navigate and read the Panopto web interface. The web interface supports screen readers for all available creator and viewer interfaces. The web interface also supports keyboard access, allowing you to use the tab key to access all available functions. All sessions fully support adding and displaying captions. 
     
  • Using the Captions and Changing Styles and Languages
    Panopto allows the viewer to configure their own caption styling for a session that has captions available. When the site-wide setting is enabled, the viewer can choose their own caption preferences.
     

How to Submit a Video Assignment Using Panopto

As we move to using the Panopto video platform, the way we submit video assignments will change. The guide below will help you to submit your video assignments with Panopto.

Video assignments take much longer to submit than regular assignments. Due to the large file size, they take much longer to upload. The video then needs to be processed before you submit it. Therefore, submitting a video assignment should never be left to the last minute. At the very least, you should submit the day before the assignment is due.

Submissions not submitted by the deadline due to IT issues, including upload speed, will not be grounds for an extension and work will be marked as refer (no work submitted).

The video below takes you through the same process for submitting a video assignment in Panopto as the guide above.
