You’re not limited to using Panopto to display and store videos that you have recorded using Panopto
This may be material such as a video export of a presentation from PowerPoint, or material recorded from a camera. You can even upload MP3 files with just audio.
Steps
This assumes you already have a Blackboard module set up to upload your materials.
- If you’re uploading materials for a taught module, or something else that already has a presence on Blackboard, you need to provision the Blackboard course
- For other materials, contact the TEL Team to discuss requirements.
- Log into the Aston Replay website. (How?)
Click Create, then Upload media- If you weren’t already viewing a folder, you will be prompted to choose where you want to upload to.
- Drag your video file(s) from into the box, or click within the box to browse your computer and select the files to upload. The upload(s) will begin.
- The session(s) have names based on the filenames you upload. You can amend them by clicking and editing the name.
- When uploading is complete, you will see the message ‘Upload complete. You can close this window now’ at the top of the list of uploads.
- When the sessions are ready to view, Panopto will send you an email.
