Changing Settings for Embedded Videos

• You can change embed options before copying and pasting the embed code in Panopto. These settings also apply when you're adding a video to a Canvas course using the WYSIWYG content editor in Canvas.
  

• Things you can change before embedding a Panopto video: 

  • Aspect Ratio 

  • Width (px) 

  • Height (px) 

  • Start At (time) 

  • Show Captions

  • Auto-play

  • Enable "Watch in Panopto" button

    • Turning this setting on will allow users to pop out of Canvas and watch the video within the Panopto web interface instead.

  • Shot Title of presentation

  • Show Logo with presentation

  • Interactivity (search and rating, comments, etc) 

    • Leaving search and rating on will allow viewers to use the search tool in the video. Ratings are automatically set to off system-wide in Panopto and cannot be turned back on.

    • Turning off all interactivity will only allow your viewers to watch the video and nothing else.
