Panopto media system
In Summer 2022, Ensemble Video was discontinued, and Reed moved to Panopto for managing media. Panopto provides all the functionality users have found in Ensemble, plus additional tools and a more user-friendly interface. All media stored on Ensemble has been moved to Panopto in Summer 2022.
Users can add media to Panopto either through the Panopto recording options, a Moodle course that has a corresponding Panopto media library, or by accessing Panopto at ; choose the "Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³ login" dropdown choice when choosing the latter option.
Before using Panopto, please request a media library for your course or administrative office.

- Media not viewed after 13 months will go into an archived state.
- Videos in an archived state with a creation date of over three years ago will be permanently deleted from the Panopto server.
