How to submit a Panopto video assignment in Canvas as a student

From your Canvas Dashboard, navigate to your course site.
Select the Assignment link located in the course navigation menu and click on the respective Assignment.
To upload your assignment submission, use the rich text editor. Select the Panopto icon to open the Panopto interface where you can upload your video or record one from scratch. You may need to select the three dots on the right side of the toolbar to find the Panopto icon, as shown below.
Make sure you have the “Course Name [assignments]” folder selected from the drop down. The key here is that it says [assignments] on the end of the course folder name. You must do this to submit your video to the proper assignment folder. Select the Upload tab to upload video/audio content from your computer OR select the Record tab to record a new video using Panopto Capture (recommended) or the Panopto Desktop Recorder, then select Insert. If you have already created Panopto content, it will appear under the Choose tab. If you decide to record using Panopto Capture, a new tab will open in your browser. There you can record using Panopto Capture. More information on recording with Panopto Capture can be found here. Once your Panopto Capture recording is finished, navigate back to your Canvas browser tab.

Select Video Embed Options to adjust your video width and height dimensions or aspect ratio. Allow Autoplay, Enable “Watch in Panopto”, Show Title, or Show Logo by checking the box.
Your video will upload to the assignment page. Select Submit Assignment. You can include comments with your submission in the Comments field below the text editor. You can resubmit your assignment by clicking the New Attempt button if needed.
