By default, Panopto recordings “inherit” — or have the same Share settings as — the folder in which they are stored. You can edit Share settings at the folder or individual recording level. There are five viewer permission levels. In increasing order of visibility or “publicness,” these permission levels are: Click a video or folder’s Share icon to open its Settings > Share page. Note: The share icon appears in different places on different screens, but it always shaped like a less than symbol and will be labeled “Share” if you hover over it. Permissions are controlled by settings under Who has access: For example, the image below is a screen shot of the Settings > Share window for a video (or “session”) titled, “How to Create a Voice-Over PowerPoint (on PC),” which we recorded to the folder for the Moodle course, ” Academic Continuity During COVID-19,” but wanted to also publish on a web page. Panopto folders are automatically created for any Moodle courses that contains the Panopto block. These folders are set up so that only course participants can view the videos they contain and only participants with a Teacher role
(i.e., Instructor of record, Other editing teacher, Non-editing teacher) can create them. Who has access will be set to Specific people, and when you click the blue links for the different groups, they will match the participants list (Viewers) and the list of teachers (Creator, Publisher). Anything you upload or record to these folders will automatically be available to these groups. The latest recordings will show up in the Panopto block. You can also add links to Panopto videos or embed them at different points in your Moodle page, if you want to control where in the course they show up. As long as you keep “Who has access” set to Specific people, your videos will remain accessible only to people enrolled in the course. Anyone with a Student role in a Moodle course can view all of a course’s recordings in the Panopto Moodle block, pictured below. Each of the recordings will be listed under Completed Recordings. By default, this block is in the right sidebar of new course shells. If this block is missing from your Moodle course, you can add it back in by clicking Turn editing on, scrolling down the left sidebar until you see Add a Block, and choosing Panopto from the drop-down menu. If you can see the block but a student cannot, they may have hidden it (only the title will appear) or docked it (only the title appears vertically on the left side of the screen). Instead of going through Moodle, you can also directly visit the Bryn Mawr Panopto platform to access your recordings. Share on Moodle using the Panopto embed button In some cases, you may want particular Panopto recordings to correlate with a specific course week or section, outside of the general list that’s found in the Moodle Block. The quickest way to do so is through the Panopto Embed button. To embed a Panopto recording into your course: You’ll then be given three options to add the video to your Moodle Course: After choosing which option you’d like to use, click Save and Return to Course and you should now your video embedded into its new activity/resource/section. Please note that students will have to log in with their Moodle credentials to access the video. Learn more: See Panopto’s documentation on embedding videos into Moodle courses or check out their video tutorial on the subject. Panopto is integrated with Moodle in order to make it easy for faculty to record and share course-related video with students. However, you can also share links to Panopto videos outside of Moodle and embed video or links in websites. To share viewing links to Panopto videos: Note: By default, sharing only gives people the ability to a stream the video — that is, to view while logged in to the Internet. You must enable downloading (either for everyone or select individuals) to give viewers the ability to download and watch offline.
