If you try to view a Panopto video that your instructor has embedded in your course and you can't play it there are likely two reasons for this:

• Your instructor may be editing the video at the time you are trying to view
• The permission settings are not correct for the video.  Simply click on "Request Permission to View" and an auto-generated email will be sent to your instructor.  Your instructor can then grant you permissions for this video until the appropriate permissions are set at the course level.
