Panopto: Get and log into your account

Panopto is an online, lecture-capture and video-streaming platform that Bryn Mawr students, faculty, and staff can use to create, host, and share streaming video and audio files. It works much like YouTube, but unlike with YouTube, there are no ads and Bryn Mawr staff administer the site and can help you recover access to recordings shared with you if the owner leaves the college. 

Do I need a Panopto account?

• You DO NOT need an account to view public Panopto videos. Just click on the link or hover the video and press play.
  
• You DO need an account to: 
  • View videos shared through Moodle. If you are enrolled in a Moodle course with a Panopto block, a Panopto account is created for you automatically.
    
  • View videos shared only with specific individuals or BMC Panopto users only
  • Record or host your own streaming videos
