You also have the ability to upload your slides after you have finished recording in the video editor. Here, you can edit or remove slides, too.

Please note that this is for providing slides only, meaning that they function as an additional viewing option, allowing viewers to click through the slides as time stamps at the bottom of the video. If you did not present the slides in your video lecture, then viewers will only see the slide on the screen once they have clicked on it.

If you want your slides to appear automatically on the screen as the video plays and in the bottom as time stamps, then you must also record your screen in addition to uploading the slides to Panopto.

1. Open up a video you would like to add slides to. You can do this through Canvas, or directly from alamo.hosted.panopto.com.

2. Select the video you want to edit by clicking the Kebab Menu (three vertical dots) > Edit.
