What is Panopto and Getting Started

This allows us to give access to multiple users so you can collaborate with coworkers. You can request this folder on the听Lecture Capture webpage听by selecting the 鈥Report an Issue or Request Help鈥 button.
- Videos uploaded to the 鈥淢y Folder鈥 of a personal account cannot be shared. However, you can create a sub-folder from which the video can be shared or, request a SOM Department folder.

Embed a Panopto Video
- Watch Panopto’s video, .
- There is a step missing from the above video because it is unique to our web system. After copying the embed code (the iframe) and pasting it into a page/post, you need to change the听alligator brackets (< and >) to the squared off brackets ( [ and ] ). View our iFrames documentation for a more detailed explanation.
- For accessibility reasons, you should always include a title attribute for an <iframe>. This is used by screen readers to read what the content of the iframe is. The iframe code from Panopto does not include the title attribute by default so you will need to add one. Simply add
title="Add your descriptive title here"
to the iFrame code as shown below. Be sure you replace Add your descriptive title here, with a title that properly describes the contents of the iframe.
Below is what the embed code looks like straight out of Panopto:
