Detailed advice on using Replay and the Panopto app:

Also see our guide to using Replay to study for more practical tips:

There are a few different ways to access Replay recordings:

• Many VLE module sites have an item in the left-hand menu labelled 'Replay Content', which opens a folder containing all of the module's Replay videos.
• Individual videos may be added to VLE module sites on the relevant page/place to watch them (as on this site).
• Your lecturer may give you a direct link to the Replay folder containing all of the module's Replay videos, or links to specific videos.
• You can also use the Panopto app to access module recordings - see below for more details.

The image below shows the Replay folder in a VLE module site, with a list of all the module's videos. The Replay Content item is highlighted in the left-hand menu. 

There are different ways to watch Panopto recordings:

• In a VLE site's Replay Content folder, click the video's title to open it in the Panopto video player.
• For a video embedded in a VLE module page (like the ones on this page), click the triangle icon to play. You can use the icons in the bottom right to open it in the Panopto video player, or to watch in full screen.
• If you're using the Blackboard app, you might need to log in before watching a video - do this with your usual University username and password.
• On a mobile device, you can watch videos using the Panopto app (see below).

If you have problems accessing videos, try logging into Panopto [Webpage] directly, then refreshing your VLE page.

You can adjust various settings in the Panopto video player, such as playback speed and captions.

Playback in Replay [YouTube video]

If you're using a mobile device, you may have a better experience using the Panopto app to view and download videos (you can still watch videos in the browser though):

• Panopto app: Android [Webpage]
• Panopto app: iOS [Webpage]

The first time you log in, you'll need to enter your University of York details correctly - instructions are in the guides below.

Once you've opened the app, you can browse videos for each of your modules, watch them in the app or download for later.

The Replay Mobile app [video]

If you watch a video in the Panopto player, you can access useful features to help you study effectively and interact with other students.

To access them, open the video the Panopto and you'll find them on the left of the Panopto video player.

• You can Search for words that appear in the video, to help you find the information you need.
• Notes are personal to you and can't be seen by other students.
• Bookmarks are reminders so you can find a point quickly again (these are also personal to you). You can see your bookmarks in all videos by clicking the 'See all your bookmarks link.
• Discussions let you post comments and questions that can be seen by everyone who can access the video. This space is for students to learn collaboratively - your lecturer won't answer questions posted here.
