Access Panopto in ELMS-Canvas
Content can be recorded, managed, and shared from umd.hosted.panopto.com, but the simplest way to make content available to students in a course is to use the Panopto Recordings area in ELMS-Canvas. When an Instructor selects the Panopto Recordings link in their ELMS-Canvas course navigation for the first time, a corresponding Panopto course folder is created in umd.hosted.panopto.com. Content uploaded to the Panopto Recordings area in ELMS-Canvas will also appear in the Panopto course folder in umd.hosted.panopto.com. Similarly, content uploaded to a Panopto course folder in umd.hosted.panopto.com will also appear in the Panopto Recordings area of the ELMS-Canvas course.
