Panopto: a new video application for VU

Go to Pantopto Video
Last updated on 26 April 2024
The VU Amsterdam is switching to a new video application: Panopto. Panopto allows you to record, edit and share videos with staff and students. The current two video applications Kaltura (video.vu.nl) and Mediasite (av-media.vu.nl) will be phased out and replaced by Panopto. For everyone using these video applications, this means a transition to a different way of working. The project team is doing everything possible to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Key moments

  1. Migration of data to Panopto
  2. Going live with Panopto
  3. Closing Mediasite
  4. Closing Kaltura
  5. Links to video's in Canvas

Please see the file Planning Panopto for a clear overview.

Content migration from Kaltura and Mediasite to Panopto
Videos and other files are migrated to Panopto by the project team. At the end of May you can find your Kaltura videos in Panopto. Your Mediasite videos have already been migrated to Panopto. 

Not all videos will be migrated. Old unviewed material will be deleted or archived. This is described in the flowchart. 

Please note: YouTube videos that are embedded in Kaltura will not be migrated. You must replace these yourself. Here you can find instructions How to embed a YouTube video in Panopto.

Videos posted on Kaltura and Mediasite during the migration period will be transferred to Panopto at the end of the migration. This is called the Delta migration.

Going Live Panopto
Panopto is live. Employees can use Panopto to create, record and upload videos. Panopto is also integrated in Canvas. 

Edits in new videos in Kaltura: Save as a copy
Until Kaltura and Mediasite go on read-only, it is possible to use Kaltura and Mediasite as usual. Until this date it is also possible to download your own videos and save them elsewhere.

However, new videos that are created during P4 in Kaltura, will be migrated after the initial migration has finished. Videos that are edited during the initial migration in Kaltura, will not be migrated to Panopto during the delta. If you need to edit a video, please choose ‘save as a copy’ to create a new video of your existing video. This way, you create a new video that will be migrated in the delta migration.

Closing Mediasite

Closing Kaltura

  • As of May 1, it is no longer possible to create new videos in Kaltura. You can still watch Kaltura videos.
  • In the summer, Kaltura will go offline. VU students and staff will no longer be able to view or use videos in Kaltura.

Links in Canvas
After the contentmigration, the links to videos in Canvas will be updated to the new Panopto-link.
