Using Media Library (Panopto) to record video to your computer

Updated on

The Media Library or “Panopto” tool enables instructors to upload audio and video files to their Canvas course sites for sharing with enrolled students. With Media Library, instructors can create video/audio lectures from their own computer, as an alternative to live, virtual classrooms via Zoom.

Media Library provides two mechanisms for recording new videos.  The recommended and most efficient option is to use the Panopto Capture tool which allows you to record videos right through the browser.  When recording through the browser, the Panopto Recorder tool is also an option - but you will need to install the Panopto Recorder tool on your computer before you can initiate a recording.  Check out the documentation below for each option.
