Panopto

Overview

Panopto is a robust online video platform where you can record, store, share, and stream videos. It provides options to limit access to videos to specific Pepperdine people, only Pepperdine users, or anyone to whom you share the link. Panopto is integrated with our primary learning management system, Courses LMS (powered by Sakai), so that professors can share lecture recordings or other video content that they create for their classes even after they have been removed from Zoom.

To access Pepperdine University's Panopto web portal, please use the button below or go to panopto.pepperdine.edu in a web browser:

  Common Solutions
  • Can't see a video in a Courses LMS class site? Be sure to select the "Panopto" tool in the site menu to authenticate and associate as a participant of the class site, and then return to the page with the video. You will need to repeat this every time you visit the class site. If all students can't view the video, then contact your instructor to correct the viewing permissions.
  • Can't create a video? Students have "Viewer" roles in Panopto. The "Creator" role is limited to professors.

 

Manage Your Panopto Recordings

To make sure that our classes can run smoothly and key University recordings remain available, it is important for professors or staff with the "Creator" role on Panopto to routinely review their recordings. Please delete any unnecessary or outdated content. For material that needs to be preserved but isn't needed for immediate access, please archive those videos. Archived videos can be restored (takes up to 48 hours) and will reduce our service costs.
