Panopto is being replaced by Microsoft Stream
The University is saying farewell to Panopto (aka ChiPlayer) and moving over to Microsoft Stream as its new video platform.Â
The way in which you record videos will change but the new workflow includes tools such as Teams and OneDrive, which should already feel familiar to you.Â
Important dates for your calendar:
- You can start using Microsoft Stream for recording and sharing new videos now!
- You will no longer be able to make new Panopto recordings from 12th June 2023
- You will have access to Panopto to backup your existing videos until 17th July 2023
Introducing the Microsoft Stream workflow
This workflow outlines how you can use Microsoft Teams to record your videos and how you can store and share them.Â
- Uploading: you can upload previously recorded content (such as your downloaded Panopto recordings) into OneDrive, SharePoint or a Teams site
- Recording: create new videos using Microsoft Teams
- Store and share: Share recordings to individuals, groups or locations (such as a Moodle page) in the same way that you would any other file across Microsoft 365
- View recordings: View all recordings, including content shared with you, from one central location: the Stream start page
