With Panopto, videos (sessions) can be embedded anywhere in the Canvas LMS where the Rich Content Editor (RCE) is available. Videos (sessions) can be played back on-demand on any laptop or mobile device. From any embedded video, students can easily access the search feature, the table of contents, notes, or discussion. Students may also choose to open an embedded video in the full interactive viewer if needed. You can embed any session that you have Creator access to.

1. Open a course in ICON.
2. Navigate to the area you would like to embed your session in and place your cursor where you would like to go.
3. From the menu of the Rich Content Editor, select the button for More External Tools then select UICapture from the drop-down list.
4. In the UICapture window that opens select one of the three methods for sharing:
   • Choose  an existing session.
   • Upload a video you already have.
   • Record a new session with the Panopto Recorder

Embedding in a Module

Sharing lectures/videos in a course module will give students a central location to share materials, making it easier for them to find course materials. It will also make it easier from the Instructor's perspective because you won't need to ensure that the video is shared with each and every student in UICapture before sharing it in ICON.
Following the below steps will automatically share the video with the students as they access materials. It will also ensure that their views are accurately captured so you can determine who is watching what.

1. At the top of the module you would like to share the video in, click the "+" button.
2. Next, at the top of the window that comes up, select External Tool from the drop-down.
3. From the list that is populated below, select UICapture. This will open a new window allowing you to select a prerecorded video,  upload a new video, or record a new session using the Panopto Recorder.
4. Select the video you would like to add to the module and configure the settings below. For most lectures, the default settings work great.
5. Select Insert at the bottom to return to the previous window.
6. Select Add Item when you are ready to add the video to the module.
