Does impersonating a student in Panopto actually show what students see?

Posted in Frequently Asked QuestionsTagged ,

Only D2L admins can impersonate students in D2L. Impersonating a student in Panopto does show you what the student sees, but sometimes when you impersonate the student, Panopto doesn’t take the change right away. To be sure that the change takes:

  1. Impersonate the student
  2. Open Panopto from the course.
  3. Log out of Panopto.
  4. When prompted to log in, select D2L from the list
  5. Log in.
  6. Verify that the name in the upper right-hand corner is the student you are impersonating.
