Using ReView (Panopto) to record video on an iPad

As well as being able to record screencasts and video on a desktop computer with ReView (Panopto), you can also use the Panopto mobile app. The Panopto mobile app allows you to upload video you already have on your mobile device, such as a screen recording or you can use it to capture video using the camera on your device.

ReView videos are linked to Blackboard modules, before you start to create your video you need to provision your Blackboard module to accept ReView videos. You only need to do this once, but you need to provision each module that you would like to use with ReView. You can do this at any time before you start to create a ReView recording by doing the following:

Go to Blackboard, sign in and go to the module to which you would like to add a video.
Click on Module Tools in the left hand menu, and then ReView Video Library in the flyout menu on the right.
That’s it! ReView now knows about the module on Blackboard and you can add video to it using the Panopto app.

On your iPad

You might already have the Panopto app on your iPad. If you don’t, install it from the Self Service app or download it from the Apple App Store.
Open the Panopto app and tap “Enter URL” in the top right.
In the Address field type: teesside.hosted.panopto.com and tap “Sign in”.
Ensure that “Teesside University Blackboard (Blackboard Ultra)” is selected and tap “Sign in“.
You will be take to the normal Blackboard sign in screen. Sign in in the usual way. You will then be returned to the Panopto app.
You should now be logged into Panopto, from here you can record a new video, view videos that you have already created or view videos that you already have access to.
To create a new video on Panopto tap Record & Upload on the left then use the Browse button to search for the Blackboard module you would like to add the video to. Remember that if haven’t provisioned your Blackboard module for Panopto, it won’t appear in the list. If you choose a specific occurrence of the module such as ABC1234-N-AB1-2019, you won’t be able to embed the video in any other occurrence of the module on Blackboard.You can alternatively (and preferably) choose to save the video in the top level folder such as ABC1234 which would then allow you to embed it in multiple occurrences of the module on Blackboard.If you don’t see the module on the list you’ll need to provision your Blackboard module for Panopto by following the instructions at the beginning of this guide.

In this example we’re using our Blackboard Sandbox module, every member of staff has their own Sandbox module on Blackboard that you can use to test things out before moving to a real module!
