View recordings in Panopto

Viewer access to Panopto recordings is administrated by either the Faculty or Department or the owner of the content. Your department can advise you on how best to access recordings that are hosted on Panopto. 

If you need access to a Panopto recording, then you should contact your Department Office and they can provide access as appropriate. If there is a technical issue then they can raise it on your behalf.

Links to recordings will be made available to you via Blackboard (our Virtual Learning Environment or VLE), the VLE used by your department, or through accessing Panopto directly.

Viewer requirements for watching Panopto recordings can be found on the Panopto website.
