Panopto is a powerful way to create, edit, store, and share videos that integrate seamlessly into your Canvas courses. Videos can include interactive content and quizzes, as well as be placed within playlists and folders to your specifications.

Getting Started

You have two options for accessing Panopto, within Canvas and directly through the Panopto Portal.

Accessing Panopto via Canvas

This is the traditional way we have been accessing Panopto. You will access Panopto within Canvas instead of Panopto's site.

  1. Click the Sign In via Canvas button above.
  2. After signing in to Canvas, if needed, click on the course to add the Panopto video.
  3. From the side navigation, click Panopto.
  4. From the Create button's dropdown menu, choose the option that meets your needs.

  2. If not already logged in, st SMU's Panopto site:
    1. Click the Sign In button.
    2. At the SSO window, enter your SMU email and password.
    3. Authorize with Duo, if needed.
