Panopto: Copy recordings to a new course

Panopto has a new feature that enables you to quickly copy all of the videos from the Panopto folder of an old course into the Panopto folder for a new Moodle course. This feature was designed to make it easier for instructors to reuse materials from term to term. The copies made for your new course are reference copies, identical copies that Panopto treats as separate files. This allows you to collect separate viewing data for the original video and the reference copy.

Before You Start, you may need access to the following:

  • a Instructor of record or Other editing teacher role in a Moodle course  
  • Creator role for the Panopto folder you want to copy from 

Copying recordings 

  1. Open the destination course in Moodle (i.e., the one to which you are copying videos). 
  2. Open the course's Panopto Block (read Moodle: Add Course Blocks if you need to add this block to your course).
  3. Click the Course Settings link in the Panopto block.

Attention: if you're not seeing the the Course settings link, consider whether one of the following fixes applies:

  • If you blocks says "this course has not been provisioned," click the link to provision it. 
  • If the Course Settings link is missing, double-check that you have an Instructor of record or Other editing teacher role in the course. If not, ask someone who has one of those roles to enroll you with these same permissions or contact the Help Desk
