Panopto: Video Recording, Editing, and Playback Software for Education

An all encompassing video tool for education.

What is Panopto?

  • Software to record, edit, and publish video and allow the students to watch and interact with the video in new ways.
  • Made easy to use, even for those without experience in the field.
  • May be used from the office or from home.
  • Panopto is a separate video management system, which stores and processes video in the cloud.
  • Panopto has been set up mainly for use together with the Canvas LMS for the autumn semester 2022.  Panopto is integrated with Canvas, so that a room in Canvas can be connected to a video folder in Panopto. The video folder can be added to the navigation menu in Canvas, and access permissions for students and teachers are handled automatically.
  • All UiO employees have access to store video in Panopto in a personal folder (My Folder). This works independently of Canvas. This can be a good solution for recording video and simple editing, but it is inconvenient to share video with selected groups of users (suitable folder structure and access groups are not yet available).
