Find Your Recordings

Welcome to Panopto! Let’s take a look at how to easily find your recordings.

The final screen should ask for your SSO credentials. Log in with your WSU ID and Password.


If you forget your username, it is the part of your email address before @wsu.edu.

The left-hand side of your Panopto screen is your main menu. Click Shared with Me for a list of all videos that have been shared with you. You can filter by Name, Duration, and Date!

The left-hand side of your Panopto screen shows the main menu. At the bottom, click Browse and navigate to My Folders. This is where your cohort folder lives. This space is updated with new folders as you move into new courses. For example, below you’ll see the FMS 501 course folder. One level under that is the specific topics and components that include recordings during the term.

Search for a recording in either the Shared with Me or Shared Folders areas of Panopto.

Search by typing in keywords or phrases in the Search bar along the top of the screen. The search will look in titles of recordings and also keywords or phrases included in the closed captions!

If your search yields too many results, navigate through the different pages in the bottom left or change how many results are shown on each page from the bottom center.

Having trouble finding a recording for a class that just finished? MedTech typically uploads videos the same day, but the time to make it available after the session depends on whether there are back-to-back sessions and how long it takes for the video to process. All session recordings are also uploaded to the E.Flo MD learning event they relate to.

When watching your session recordings, you may want to jot down notes and thoughts, or bookmark places to come back to. Panopto makes it easy for you to share these quick thoughts with your classmates or flag times for later review.
