Access Panopto

Panopto is a video management tool that is used to record lectures at London Met.

Panopto Accounts

All Weblearn users will automatically be issued with a Panopto account. Users will be able to access Panopto through Weblearn or directly log into the London Met Panopto website using their londonmet username and password.

Note: do not add ‘@londonmet.ac.uk’ after your username when login into Panopto.

If you are a PSD member of staff who requires access to Panopto, please log a call through the IT support portal.

Access Panopto

Panopto can be accessed through Weblearn or through a direct link to the London Met Panopto site.

For Lecture recording, staff must access Panopto through their Weblearn module to ensure the recording will be saved in the right location.

Weblearn link to Panopto

All Weblearn modules will contain a link called ‘Panopto Recordings’ which is incorporated into the London Met module template.

Click on the link to view recordings for the module or to start a new recording that will be automatically saved into the module’s Panopto folder.

1. Log into Weblearn
2. Navigate to your module
3. Open the Key Resources folder and click on the Panopto link
4. If Panopto asks for authentication, enter your London Met username and password

The Panopto folder for the module opens. Staff who are enrolled on the module as instructor or teaching assistant can create new videos, start editing existing videos and manage access to recordings.

To copy recording from other locations or access their private folder, users need to open Panopto in the full browser view.
