Upload a PDF to a Panopto Video

This help page explains how to upload a PDF to a Panopto video. Viewers will be able to access the PDF(s) in the video player as a secondary stream. 

Note 

  • PDF uploads are currently limited to 100 MB. 
  • PDF(s) will appear in the embedded viewer at the beginning of the video. As such, Viewers will need to select Close in the upper right corner to proceed with watching the video. 
  • If the video is a single stream (i.e. audio/screen, audio/speaker, or audio-only) and a PDF file is added, once the PDF loads in the Viewer you will not be able to close or toggle it off and it will, instead, display for the full duration of the video.
