Panopto have released a video of the new video player design that will be available after the Semester 2 exam period.

(Note that the demo.hosted website does not work correctly in IE8 or below. This will not affect the Southampton version)
You can easily move a video using the Panopto website. Nothing needs to be processed and the change is immediate. More
Panopto will automatically make recordings available within Blackboard within a few minutes of your lecture. The following directions allow you to prevent automatic access immediately after the lecture is recorded.

We’ve been taking a look at the next version of the Panopto Recorder application here in MLE Towers. You’ll be happy to know that it is familiar as ever, except for a small slider added below the audio monitor.
Previously, if your microphone was too loud or too quiet, you needed to open the Windows volume controls and find the levels to the microphone. We made this a little easier with the Panopto Pre-Launcher (the tick box that appears before the main Panopto application), but you’ll now find it built in.

The MLE team performs many exam related tasks. For half of the team, Exam Periods are the busiest times of the year. More
One of the great things about Panopto is how secure the video is by default. Recording a lecture or presentation into your Blackboard course ensures that only the students and instructors on that course can see the video. However, sometimes you may have two or more similar courses and only wish to make a recording once.
This post will explain how record videos into one Panopto folder and for that folder to be visible to a second course.
We’ve got our hands on a test version of the new Android MySouthampton. Some great strides have been made in making the Android version as functional as the iOS application, so hopefully the 20% of students running Android will be very happy with it.
We’re recently had a few calls regarding students and staff not having permission to see videos that are listed within the ‘Recorded Lectures’ tab on Blackboard. Often this is a cookies issue.
Firstly you should check to see if it is a cookies issue you are seeing.
Open the page http://coursecast.soton.ac.uk/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.aspx
Click on Sign In in the top right corner
Ensure that the menu that appears is set to “Sign in using Blackboard” and press Sign in
Log into Blackboard with your standard University username and password (note, if you are already logged into Blackboard you will not be asked for your username and password again)
You will then be redirected back to the website you were previously viewing.
If the top right corner still says Sign In then you have a cookies problem and should continue following the instructions below. If you can see your name then you are correctly logged in and the issue is that you do not have permission to view the video in question. Ask your tutor if you should have permission to see the video or contact ServiceLine.
To fix the problem you will need to clear the cookies on your browser.
