This section has some general tips to help you use video and audio content in your own way.
If you have a disability or long-term health condition that has an impact on your ability to study with video or audio resources, get in touch with Disability Services [Webpage] for more guidance and to arrange support.
Replay is the main way that tutors create video content for your modules, so you'll see a lot of these videos. Panopto is the software that plays these videos. Recordings may be available through a module's VLE site and/or through a link.
You can adjust the volume, speed and captions using the playback controls, and also navigate using a keyboard or screen reader. You'll have a bit more control if you open the video in the Panopto player instead of viewing directly on the VLE.
You can also search for information within videos, and bookmark information to make it easier to find again.
Video content for your modules may also be provided on YouTube - you can also control the volume, speed and turn captions on and off.
