This documentation goes over how to allow users to download the podcast version of videos from the viewer using the folder or video settings. If you’d like to set site-wide limits and defaults on who can download, please see the article on site-wide podcast download settings here. By default, podcast creation is turned on for your site, meaning Panopto creates an MP4 version of your video, which is what plays when using the embedded viewer or when you're playing a video on mobile. This version of the video can be made available in the viewer for download. Creators and Administrators already have access to download the podcast version from the video Settings under Outputs even if no one is allowed to download from the viewer.

2.4. Select the option that you require. The group you select will be able to download the MP4 version for every video in the folder. Some of the options listed below may not be available to you if your Administrator has limited the types of users who can download site-wide (Fig. 8).
