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.
Alternately, you can use the "share" tab in this tool to
remove all access restrictions and send the URL to anyone - even
people not in the list of viewers. NOTE: Everyone who logs into
umd's Panopto server will 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.
Get into the Panopto folder
management tool from the "Manage My Recordings"
link on the Panopto recorder under the
"Recording Status" tab OR by logging into
capture.umd.edu
Then go into the settings for that
video (the icon that looks like a wheel in the
column next to 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, you can create a copy first and then move just one of
them. You'll find the "copy session" button further down the
page.
Save the recording as an mp4
You can get to your recordings from the Panopto management tool.
Two ways to get to the management tool:
-
from Blackboard >Course Tools>Panopto Focus Content >
Panopto Course Settings (under "Links")
-
or from Panopto if you've installed it (see the "Manage
Panopto Access" doc - page 2)
Once you're in the manager, you can download an mp3
or mp4 version of the recording to a zip file. The recording is
not as complete if they save it as an mp3 (audio only) or mp4
(audio and screencapture only -
BUT no video and no navigation other than what
the viewer's selection of mp4 player provides).
If you want an mp4, open the management tool. From the list
of all your recordings, check the box to the left of the
recording name and a "Download" button becomes clickable. Click
that to save to a zip file. Share the zip file any way you like.
Another choice for sharing your recording would be to make it
public and share the URL. Again, from the management tool, hover
over the column to the right of the recording title and icons
appear for every video you have rights to manage. Click the
people icon and a "Share" tab will appear. This gives you the
option to "Allow Anyone to View" and then provides a URL link to
the recording - complete with navigation and video.
Also from that share tab, you'll
see an email feature. This emails the URL to individual users if
you just add their email addresses (any email address - doesn't
have to be @umd.edu). When you add someone to this user list,
they receive two emails - first a Panopto login to view your
video - navigation and video included - and then a link to your
recording. These users don't use a directory ID to log in, but
use the Panopto login form with the account they're emailed.
