  • I wanted to, very quickly, demonstrate a potential problem for students to be able to view Panopto

  • videos that you may have embedded into a content page in your course. So, right now I am logged

  • in as a student to this course. And I'm looking at this Panopto video, and I see this link

  • here that says "Sign in to see this video." If I try to do that, I click on the link,

  • I say Sign In using Canvas, and I'm taken to this window. I can't actually see any way

  • to go forward from here. So that's a problem. One way around it is for me to just go into

  • the Panopto Recordings tab. So, you can direct your students to do that. Another way is,

  • rather than just using the default size for the embed window in Canvas, you can go in

  • and change the size. So, I'm flipping over to a different browser. I'm logged in there

  • as an instructor for this course. I'm going to go in and edit this page really quickly.

  • And, um... Okay, I'm back. For some reason, I had lost

  • my permission to edit--it had logged me out. So I click into the HTML Editor, here. It

  • gives me a width and a height. It gives it to me twice, by default. I'm not sure why.

  • I usually delete one of those out. And then, I'll adjust the width to about 600 and the

  • height to about 400. Those are just arbitrary numbers. And then I'm going to save it. Okay.

  • And now I'm going to get back in as a student. I'm going to refresh this page, and you see

  • that that size will have changed. It'll take me right back to this window. If I sign in

  • to see the video--click sign in--I can get to the Log In button now. And if I click log

  • in once, this is usually what happens for me. If I refresh the page, though, once I've

  • logged in. It takes a second.

  • There's the video. I can press play. And it's running exactly as I would expect

  • it to. So, just make your embed windows for your videos a little bit wider than the default

  • embed code. That will help to alleviate this problem.
