When an
instructor sets up a Panopto folder in Blackboard, by default,
he or she is the only one who has access to manage that folder.
The instructor will need to manually add TAs that need access.
If a TA creates the folder, the instructor will automatically
have access, but no other TAs will. You can manage this
manually with the instructions below.
Who can create and publish
your class Panopto
recordings?
By default, only the person who performs Step 1 - setting up
the Panopto folder for a course - will be considered to be a
"creator" in Panopto. All others are "viewers" and cannot
record - even other Instructors and TAs. While Panopto
recognizes the Directory ID of everyone in your course, it does
not recognize Blackboard roles.
If you need others to be able
to create a recording in a folder you've set up, you must add
them as a "creator".
This document shows you how to do that.
Sharing your recordings with
viewers not on
your course roster
You may also add viewers who have a Directory ID (Bb login
name) to the
viewer list with the instructions in this
document.
If you want someone without a Directory ID to see your
recording, you may add them
with any email address. Panopto will send that
address an email with a password. Then it will send a
second email with a link to the recording. When they click
the recording link the first time, it will ask them to change
the password sent in the first email. When they wish to
view the recording these viewers will use the Panopto
login, this email address and the new password they
just created.
You can make it Public and just share the URL with anyone -
no login will be required. Do this from the "share" tab in
the management tool. NOTE: In addition to anyone you send the
URL to, everyone who logs
into UMD's Panopto server (all creators of recordings) will
be able to see this recording in their list
of available recordings so please consider this carefully before
you choose it.
Sharing a recording with another
class
If you have a recording in one course folder on
capture.umd.edu and you want to move it to a different course
folder you can do that quickly. NOTE: you must have
a Panopto folder for EVERY COURSE whose roster of students will
need to view your Panopto recording unless you decide to make
the recording public. Creating a Panopto folder for your
course was Step 1 in the
Step by Step Instructions for using Panopto.
Go into the Panopto folder
management tool by logging into capture.umd.edu
OR from the "Manage My Recordings"
link on the Panopto recorder under the
"Recording Status" tab
Then go into the settings for that
video (the icon is in the
column to the right of the name of the video)
Click the edit button next to the
name of the folder and change it to the folder
you prefer:
If you want the recording to be accessible in both
courses - the original course and an additional course, you can
create a copy first and then move just one of
them. You'll find the "copy session" button further down the
same page.
