Panopto is Georgetown University’s cloud-based lecture capture and media playback service. It’s available to all faculty, staff and students that can be accessed in Canvas. Use Panopto to record content using your computer’s audio, video, and desktop screen. Instructors in Canvas can share lecture capture recordings and uploaded media with students in their Canvas courses.
