Panopto Event Recordings

When your instructors have recorded events such as lectures, they may choose to link to the recordings within your Blackboard course.

There are two types of links: a link to one particular recording; or a link to all the recordings for the module. Both have the green Panopto icon.

Link to one particular recording

Links to a single recording will have a link that describes what recording it is, for example the date. When you click on the link, the recording will open in a new tab.

Link to all the recordings for this particular module run

Links to all recordings for the module will have a more general link name such as ‘Panopto Content’. After you click on this link you will see a list of all the recordings available - click on the appropriate one and the recording will open in a new tab.

Take Note

  1. The main viewing screen
  2. The webcam recording (where used)
  3. Use the pause and play buttons to stop and start the recording at any time
  4. Use the contents area to search or jump to a section of the recording
  5. Use the slide viewer at the bottom to jump to a particular section of the recording
  6. Use the toolbar to switch sources (For example, if your lecturer switches from showing a PowerPoint slide to a document camera, you will need to change the view from ‘Slides’ to ‘Camera’.)
