Sharing your media in Panopto
You may have Zoom or Google Meet recordings you want to share, or lecture content that needs to be posted online. Contact its@reed.edu to assist you in working with Panopto, our media server, to upload your content to share with your students. We do not recommend uploading video files to Moodle.
If you haven't already, you will first need to request a media library for your course or administrative office and then upload your media to Panopto. After you have uploaded media to Panopto, it will show up in your media library. If you are using the default video playlist, your media should display in this playlist. If you would like to create separate playlists for content, read the .
