Moodle: Add audio and video using Panopto

Use Moodle's integration with the Panopto lecture capture and video-streaming platform to add audio and video recordings to a Moodle course.      

Before you start, you will need:

  • a Instructor of record or Other editing teacher role in a Moodle course.

Add content to the Panopto course folder

Every Moodle course has a corresponding course folder in Panopto. Course participants have permission to view these recordings through the Panopto Course Tool and Panopto block (if added to your course).

Warning: If don't want students to access recordings through Panopto Course Tool, please hide it or move it to a hidden section. Deleting it will break Panopto's connection to your course.

Reuse Panopto content from another course

Direct links to Panopto recordings from a previous course won't work, as students in your current course won't have the right permissions to view them. Instead, copy the recordings from the previous course's Panopto folder to the current course's Panopto folder.  

Batch copy all recordings from a single course

(Excluding Zoom recordings if desired.)

Copy content selectively or from multiple courses

Zoom recordings

Panopto automatically adds recordings of Zoom Meetings created through the Zoom activity in a Moodle course to its corresponding Panopto course folder (see Use the Zoom activity in Moodle). Otherwise, your Zoom Meeting recordings will be uploaded to your My Folder in Panopto, and you will need to move them to your Panopto course folder manually. 

Create a video assignment (optional)

Use this option to place a recording at a specific point in your course or record a grade for it in Moodle.


Panopto block

The Panopto block provides an alternative way of access the Panopto course folder and recordings. It is particularly useful if when you record lectures or class meetings, as students see the latest recordings here as soon as they are posted.

Sample Panopto block in Moodle

If the block is missing an Instructor of Record or Other Editing Teacher can add it. See Moodle: Add blocks to the block drawer

Warning: If don't want students to view recordings through the Panopto block, please hide it. Deleting it could disrupt Panopto's connection to your course.
