Panopto in Canvas
Panopto provides an innovative, easy to understand way to record and catalogue lecture videos, allowing students to easily access the recordings.
This section presents information on how Panopto can support teaching faculty to create a better experience for students outside of the classroom. With features such as the ability to assign in-video quizzes, the smart search function within videos, and the automatic captioning system provided, it is a fantastic way to supply students with the materials that they need to excel in the classroom. There are two ways to access Panopto: through Canvas or through the Panopto Cloud web portal.
You can access the Panopto Cloud using your TAMU Credentials: Panopto.
