About Panopto Video Platform

  • Panopto is a video management platform (like a private YouTube for SSU classes) that includes video recording and editing software.
  • Look for the Panopto link on your Canvas class navigation menu or view videos from a Canvas page.
  • Panopto is best for making and sharing original video content and making it easy to access in Canvas (Zoom is best for live online meetings).
  • Panopto content creators may edit or enhance auto-captions
  • Panopto auto-generates word clouds, keywords, transcriptions, and auto-captions
  • Videos may be enhanced with embedded quiz questions and link documents for download
  • Although videos created with Panopto may include closed-captions, students registered with DSS and qualify for an accommodation related to captioning should notify the DSS Altmedia Center to review captioning needs for each course before the start of the semester
