Your Panopto Account and the Panopto Website (Canvas)

Activating Your Panopto Account

1. Navigate to SPC's Canvas instance.
2. Select Panopto under Third-Party Tools in Canvas. 
   
   When you select Panopto under Third-Party Tools in Canvas, your Panopto account will be automatically created, along with a dedicated default folder linked to that course.
3. If you only have viewer access, please email atst@spcollege.edu 

Register for and Complete the Faculty Panopto On-Demand Workshop

1. Navigate to the Panopto On Demand course in Canvas. This is a self-enroll course, so when you select the hyperlink, you'll be routed to the course and given the option to self-enroll. 
2. Complete the course. 
3. Fill out the On-Demand Course Completion Survey form. 

Signing Into Panopto

• You do NOT need to download Panopto software to your computer, you can do everything you need from SPC's Panopto website. Please bookmark it in your browser.
• You will be automatically logged into your personal Panopto account using single sign-on every time you go to the Panopto site. You do NOT need to create an account or set up a different password. Simply open the Panopto link, make sure Panopto - SSO is selected from the dropdown menu (1), and select the Sign in button (2). 
  
• You do NOT need to download Panopto software to your computer. You can do everything you need from the website. You are more than welcome to download and use the desktop app, but the app is mainly for capturing. The Panopto app will still direct you to the website to share, edit, etc.

Managing and Sharing Videos

• On the Panopto site, you’ll have a private "My Folder" where you can create and edit videos before sharing them.

• You control who has access to your videos through sharing permissions for each video or folder.
  

• You can share videos with other faculty or your department, and generate links to share with anyone.

• We have set up department folders for group collaboration. If you need access to your department folder, contact Rachael Jackson (jackson.rachael@spcollege.edu).

• There are some folders that all of SPC has access to, like CETL, tutorials, and recordings of college-wide events.

• You can view recordings of college events or other widely shared videos on the Panopto website.

Using Panopto with Canvas

• You can create Panopto videos directly in Canvas; they are stored in your Panopto account.

• You can add videos from your Panopto account to your Canvas courses. This grants all enrolled students access to the video.

• You will only be able to add videos to courses where you are enrolled as Faculty.

• You will only be able to add videos to folders in Panopto where you have editor access.

• There will be a Canvas option in your Panopto Browse menu—click the arrow to see which Canvas folders you can access.
