Before any Panopto recordings can be access by students in MyClasses, faculty must enable Panopto in their MyClasses course. If the Panopto Recordings option is not visible on the course navigation menu, see the Enabling Panopto to Your MyClasses Course section, to add it to your course menu.
If you copied a course from a previous semester, the Panopto Recordings should appear on the course menu. In order to reuse Panopto recordings from a previous semester, faculty must:
- Enable Panopto for the given semester to create a group within Panopto for access to the recordings.
- Assign the current group to the previous semester recordings folder. This will provide current students with the ability to view the recordings.
Enable Panopto For a Given Semester
- Login to MyClasses Canvas and select the desired course.
- From the course navigation, select Panopto Recordings.
- A folder will be created for the current semester. This also provides the Panopto server with a list of your students and provides them view rights to all videos within this folder.
Assign Group to Panopto Folder
- Select the Manage My Recordings icon (square with arrow) to go to the Panopto server.
- From the Browse, My Folders menu on the left, select the folder with the previous Panopto recordings.
- Select the Settings icon (gear) in the upper right corner.
- On the left, select Share.
- In the textbox under Invite people type the name of your current course. You should see two lists: one for creator (faculty) and one for viewers (students).
- Select the desired group to provide viewing rights to the recordings in this folder. Be sure to uncheck the option to Notify people via email. Then click Save changes.
You should now see this group under the Who has access: section.
Note: Students will need to change the folder after clicking on Panopto Recordings to see the videos in the existing folder.
