1. Video upload via the Panopto button on the Course navigation

The first way to upload Panopto videos to Canvas is through the Panopto link on course navigation. When you are in your course Homepage, you can access Panopto as one of the links in course navigation.

To upload a video, you need to click on this link and you will be opened to a Panopto edit page that resembles the one in the image shown below.

Click on ´create´ to select a type of video or media that you wish to upload (new recording, offline video or audio, scheduled recording etc....).

You then also select the section or folder where you wish to save your uploaded video. In the case of the image below, the selected section is 1819 - Sandbox.

When you are ready, upload your video and allow it to fully process into your Canvas (this might take a while in some cases depending on the size of the video).

2. Embedding the Panopto video in a Page using the Rich Content Editor

When creating the contents of your page using the rich content editor, you can easily embed a Panopto video in the process.

This process is as easy as uploading any other media using the configured applications atop the RCE content area (see the image shown below).

Panopto is one of the configured editing tools on the rich content editor and is indicated by a small, green cyclic icon.

When you wish to include a Panopto video as part of your content via the rich content editor, click on the green icon at the point you want the video. A pop-up window will appear that allows you to start the video selection/upload.

Clicking on the Panopto icon gives a pop-up window that has three video selection options i.e. ´choose´, ´upload´ and ´record´ as shown in the image below.

´Choose´ option is selected if you already have uploaded Panopto videos to Canvas and wish to select one of them to apply in this content area; ´upload´ is used when you wish to upload a new media from your Windows or Mac; and the ´record´ option allows you to record a video or audio in real time.

Upload video by clicking on the space with ´Drag video or audio files here (or click to find on your computer)´ and allow the video to fully process. Then scroll to the bottom of the popup window and click on ´insert´.

Your video will be inserted to the rich content editor in the location where your cursor was when you clicked on the Panopto icon.

When you´re done inserting the video, continue with the editing of the text content and other media content in the RCE. Save the page edits when you are through with this content editing.
