Overview

The Panopto Canvas integration enables you to create and share recordings in a Canvas course. Instructors are automatically made Panopto creators, and students become viewers. Panopto recordings and webcasts automatically publish to the associated Canvas course, and can also be embedded directly into a Canvas page by an instructor. Once a student or faculty member logs into Canvas, they’ll automatically login to Panopto as well. And with rolling synchronization, Panopto always references your current class lists to understand which students have access to each class.
