Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic and pricing model changes for Panopto, Video recordings will be deleted from Panopto after 5 years of the most recent view. This retention policy was developed by ID&D in consultation with Technology Support Services and the Faculty Senate's Learning Resources Committee determined a retention policy in accordance to student record-retentions and faculty instructional needs. Video recordings will be deleted from Panopto after 5 years of the most recent view.
Examples:
- A recording created on Friday, April 23, 2013 with 0 views in the past 5 years will be marked for deletion.
- An online lecture recording created in Fall 2015 with 0 views in the past 5 years will be marked for deletion.
- A student video project created in Fall 2015 that was viewed only during the Fall 2015 semester will be marked for deletion.
- A recording of a campus event with 0 views in the past 5 years will be marked for deletion.

Process:
ID&D obtains a monthly audit of video recordings identified for deletion. Recordings will only be deleted based on confirmation by ID&D team members. Starting June 1, 2022, ID&D will communicate directly with faculty and staff via email identifying the videos (and folders in which they are stored) that are scheduled for deletion. Individuals will be given the following options:
- View the recording to maintain the recording on the server.
- Request ID&D to Archive the recording.
- Download the recording for safekeeping.
- Delete the Panopto Recording yourself or reply to ID&D to confirm the recording can be deleted from the server.
