Panopto is Falmouth University's video hosting platform that can be used by staff and students to store and share video and audio content for learning and teaching, and assessment.


The steps in this guide show you how to upload video files to Panopto, change sharing permissions to allow access to your tutors and how to then copy/paste the resulting video link into a Word document to submit.  


Note iconNote: If you have recorded your video using Panopto, follow guidance from Step 2.
