Panopto at Cal Poly Humboldt

Panopto is available for faculty, staff and student use 

Panopto is an easy way to record and share videos at Cal Poly Humboldt. 

With Panopto, you can:

  • create and share videos with students in your classes, the whole university, the whole world, or someone you provide the link to
  • stop uploading your videos to YouTube
  • access your Zoom recordings
  • have captions that are much better/more accurate than YouTube's captions
  • use a search tool to find terms in a video
  • embed interactives, such as quizzes with feedback (capturing grades if you'd like) and H5P activities
  • find and use feature films and documentaries from the Panopto Media Library in your course

Getting Started

Accessing Panopto

You can access Panopto in two different ways:

  1. Directly in Canvas via the Panopto Video menu item or anywhere you have access to the rich content editor. This method is generally preferrable for instructors and students when making or sharing videos in Canvas courses.
  2. Via the Cal Poly Humboldt Panopto Dashboard. Login with your Humboldt SSO, using your campus user/password.

Take a little time and click around the interface and familiarize yourself with Panopto's tools and search features.
