Reusing Panopto Recordings in MyClasses

ID&D KB How-to Guide

Working together to enhance teaching & learning. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the ID&D team.

Before any Panopto recordings can be accessed 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 Enabling Panopto in Your MyClasses Course for information on how to add it to your course menu.

If you copied a course from a previous semester or want to share recordings with multiple courses in the current semester, the Panopto Recordings should appear on the course menu. In order to reuse Panopto recordings faculty must (1) Activate Panopto for the current semester and (2) Assign Course Course Panopto Folder to the previous folder for permissions. A video tutorial and written instructions are provided below:

Activate Panopto For a Given Semester Step-by-Step Guide

Activating Panopto creates a course folder within Panopto and provides the Panopto server with a list of current students. Students in the course automatically have viewing rights to all videos within their course Panopto folder.

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.

Assign Current Course Panopto Folder to Previous Course Panopto Folder Step-by-Step Guide

This will provide current course students with permissions to view the recordings that reside in a previous course 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 to open Folder properties.
On the left, select Share.
In the textbox under People and groups type the name of your current course. You should see two lists: one for Creators (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.
You should now see this group under the People and groups section.
