When you play your Panopto session, the clip you inserted will begin to play at the time you chose earlier. When the inserted clip is complete, the original Panopto session will continue to play.

You can edit when the inserted clip begins to play by selecting the three vertical dots next to the clip in the Contents tab and then "Edit".
