How to add Panopto to your eClass course

To use Panopto from your eClass course, you will have to:

  • Add the Panopto block in your course
  • Add a link to your recording folder using Panopto activity

You must add the block to establish the connection between eClass and Panopto. Once added, a dedicated Panopto folder will automatically be created for your course, and all recordings will be stored there. Instructors enrolled in the course will receive creator access, allowing them to publish recordings to the course folder, while students will automatically have permission to view the videos. The block also gives students quick and convenient access to course recordings directly from eClass.

Follow the steps below to add Panopto to your course

  1. Go to your course in eClass. While on your main course homepage,  turn Edit mode on located in the upper right hand corner.
