Faculty who wish to record on Mac should refer to Recording a Session in Panopto for Mac

Panopto Recordings from your other courses can be accessed by clicking on the “Choose a folder…” dropdown and selecting the desired course. Panopto videos from other courses that were embedded in a course and copied to a new course will automatically grant permission to the current semester students.  Otherwise, faculty can grant permission to selected course students as Viewers using instructions in the Reusing Panopto Recordings in MyClasses guide.
