Overview
Embedding a quiz in a Panopto video allows instructors to add interactive questions directly into recorded content. Quizzes appear at specific points in the video and pause playback until students respond, helping check understanding in real time. This feature increases student engagement and, when connected to Canvas, can automatically record grades in the Gradebook.
