This Student FAQ explains why and how to provide a link to a video you have created as part of an assessment.

Instead of uploading a video submission file (MP4, MOV file etc.) you will be required to upload your video recording into Panopto Video Assignment Folder and there is also a function in Blackboard Assignments to record via the submission link directly (with an option to redo). 

How to create videos using Panopto

• All students have access to the University managed Panopto software (record presentations in the browser or download the app for Windows) 
• Login to Panopto using your student email - you may need to verify with MFA (do not use personal email account)
• Options to either create a screen recording for a presentation or upload any other media recording (File types: AVI, MP4, MPG, WMV, MOV, QT, ASF, 3GP, WMA, MP3, M4V).
