Replay is the main way that tutors create video content for your modules - this might be lecture recordings, demonstrations, feedback on sessions or other useful content.

Panopto is the software that plays these videos (usually through a module's VLE site). It has features to help you study effectively, like notes, bookmarks and searches.

Useful guides

There are a few different ways to access Replay recordings:

• Access all of a module's videos using the Replay Lecture Capture (Panopto) link in the module site's Course Content area.
• Individual videos may also be linked individually or embedded in the relevant materials section.
• You can also use the Panopto app to access module recordings.

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 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.
