VStream (Panopto)
Related Technology |
VStream is VUW's audio, video and screen capture recording and streaming service.
The service, which uses software called Panopto, allows academics to capture content, record lectures, seminars, labs or any other type of video or audio content. Links to the recordings are made available to students via Blackboard anytime and anywhere they want to learn. The recordings are viewed via a web browser on a laptop or desktop computer. Content can also be optimised and streamed to mobile devices such as tablets and phones through the Panopto app. Talk to one of our learning and teaching team about using VStream in your teaching.

VStream Basics
VStream Videos link in Blackboard
Your Blackboard course should have a link in the menu called 'VStream Videos' or 'Ataata Vstream'.
The first thing to do is find this VStream link your Blackboard course menu and check what is in your course Panopto folder. Students in the course can see the videos in this folder. If you have videos elsewhere that you want students to access, you will need to copy them to this course Panopto folder.

Setting up an assignment in Blackboard allows you to easily mark the video assignments and provide a grade and feedback. Instructions for setting up an assignment link in Blackboard are included in the video assignment creation for staff document below.
