Has your tutor set up a Blackboard Assignment dropbox to allow you to submit a video for Assessment? You don’t need to be a technical whiz to do this just follow the below instructions!
Firstly, we always recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox when using Panopto.
Pre-recording/Uploading your video using Panopto on a desktop device.
Did you know all students have access to Panopto? You can access Panopto from within any module by clicking on Books & Tools on the Details & Actions menu and selecting Panopto Video Course Folder.
Once you have opened Panopto it is worth changing the folder you are in to My Folder. This will make sure any videos you create or upload are saved to your own personal folder and can be accessed from within any module you are in
Pre-recording/Uploading your video using your Phone
If you’ve been asked to submit a video assignment and want to do this from your phone, you can sometimes be faced with challenges due to cross site tracking when using Safari. Cross site tracking can be disabled on your phone, to do this go to:
Settings/Safari/Privacy & Security and turning Prevent Cross-Site Tracking off.
Alternatively, you can use the Panopto Mobile App to save your video into your personal folder.
The Panopto App allows staff and students to view, record and upload content on either their Android or iOS personal device and is simple to use.
The Panopto App can be downloaded from the following links:
Logging In to the Panopto App.
Login to the app using your Edge Hill email address and password.
After logging in you will be directed to the app’s homepage to sign in.
