The main advantage of using this over the Panopto block is that it lets you place videos within the sections they are most relevant, rather than placing all the videos in one place. This makes it easier for students to link the video contents to specific lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This articles explains how to share your videos directly on the Moodle page through the Panopto activity function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps to linking Panopto videos in Moodle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Under the chosen section, select \u201cAdd and activity or resource\u201d, and then choose the Panopto activity from the dropdown of presented options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/dev-support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of add and activity or resource function.\" class=\"wp-image-6119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource.png 810w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource-768x140.png 768w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource-50x9.png 50w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource-60x11.png 60w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Add-an-activity-and-resource-100x18.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/dev-support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop.png\" alt=\"Screen shot of activity selection with Panopto highlighted.\" class=\"wp-image-6121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop.png 625w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop-50x31.png 50w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop-60x37.png 60w, https:\/\/digi-ed.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Panopto-Activity-crop-100x62.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Next, click on the \u201cselect content\u201d button to open up your Panopto folder(s).
