Introduction

Your instructor will have created a Panopto Student Video Assignment for you. To submit your video file, you must:

  1. Upload your video to your personal folder in Panopto. Personal folders provide users with a private area for the upload and storage of videos. The My Folder personal folder has been made available to students.
  2. Open the Assignment dropbox.
  3. Select the Write Submission button. Find and locate your video and insert it.
  4. Add any additional text or attachments, as detailed in the assignment description.
  5. Finally submit your assignment

Important

Please Note: Students using a mobile device can submit a Panopto Student Video Assignment by logging into Blackboard Learn using the browser on their mobile device. However, the Blackboard App DOES NOT support the Panopto student assignment tool. While the Panopto assignment link can be opened by the Blackboard App, it should not be used to submit a Panopto Assignment.

Also Note: Mobile users should connect to a WiFi source when submitting, as uploading a video file via your mobile network will incur significant data costs.
