Panopto: LSU Student Overview

General Information

Panopto for students is a video platform that may be used by instructors, which includes software for watching videos and viewing live streaming video all with interactive video players. Panopto is a great resource for watching lectures and supplemental video tutorials for increased learning in and outside of the classroom and to improve a student's learning ability. It is available to active LSU students if an instructor decides to use Panopto. This is not a recording program for students, but rather a viewing experience provided by faculty and staff. For student video assignments, see Submitting a Panopto Video Assignment.
