Exporting your video for upload to Panopto

Check the format and size! Your file needs to be exported as a movie format e.g. mp4, .mov, .mpeg etc. See suitable file formats to be accepted in Panopto.

Make sure your file is less than 5GB. Keep your file size to around 50MB to 100MB per minute. If your file is too big, use compression software like Handbrake, see File size and compression for more info.
