When and How to Access Recordings?
Your course tutor or administrator will usually make recordings available shortly after each session. You can access them directly through the relevant Moodle course, allowing you to watch, rewatch, or catch up at your convenience.
Embedded directly within your Moodle page – Videos may be placed alongside weekly content or in a dedicated section.
Via the Panopto block – Located in the Block Drawer on the right-hand side of your Moodle course, the Panopto block displays the most recent recordings linked to that course. Click on a title to open the video. You’ll be prompted to log in to Panopto if you haven’t already.
If you don’t see any recordings, check with your course team. Not all sessions are recorded, and some videos may take time to process and upload.
