Panopto is accessible from the Panopto element of the Home screen. The Continue to the Panopto system button opens the dashboard of Panopto where the user has access to the Panopto folder of the given virtual space, and the linked Panopto folders, if applicable, of a Course type virtual space.

The link functions only if the administrator has created the context in Panopto.


Panopto

One of today's most popular and widely used educational class recording and video content management platforms is Panopto. It can be used to enhance both synchronous and asynchronous online education in the institute, thanks to its recording and live video capabilities. It can also be used for home or classroom recording/use by lecturers, making it an optimal solution for today's hybrid (semi-online, semi-presence) education, in addition to the fully online education.

Panopto is also available integrated in the Neptun system, and the video files used for teaching can be linked to a subject, course or even 'other' type of virtual space in the educational system, and can be accessed directly from there.

On the web, the "Panopto" menu item under "Information" menu item on the studies page allows users to access the Panopto folders linked to virtual spaces from one single menu item.

The virtual space - Panopto connections appear on the screens, where the student is a member of the virtual space (student web).


ATTENTION! The use of Panopto in Neptun is subject to a licence and authorisation, the options on the screen will only appear in Neptun if the institute uses it and holds the required licence.


Authorisation management towards Panopto

The system uses the so-called LTI communication for the Neptun - Panopto connection, which allows to redirect the user from Neptun to Panopto without authentication, moreover with the appropriate authorization. The administrator of the virtual space is logged into Panopto from Neptun with editor/uploader (creator) authorisation, the student who is not the administrator of the virtual space is logged into Panopto with viewer authorisation.

The Panopto url is displayed to users in all cases on the web screens. However, if the appropriate configuration setting is missing in the system for a particular virtual space, a tooltip will inform the user of this in a message/by hovering the mouse over the virtual space.

However, it must be borne in mind that the Panopto url does not always work, regardless of the configurational settings. Due to the unique feautres of the LTI communication, users of member/guest member type can only go to the Panopto site if the Panopto context for the virtual space has already been created on that site. This context is the structured folder that makes the Panopto folder appropriate to be used by the user. It is created when the administrator of the virtual space clicks the url of the folder.

In public virtual spaces, the Panopto link is not displayed only to the admin/member users of the virtual space, but to everyone (such non-member and non-admin users are the guest users, and they are logged in Panopto with viewer authorisation).
