- Your default folder in Panopto for Zoom recordings is currently set to Meetings Recordings. View this Changing Your Default Folder in Panopto for Zoom Recordings document to see how to change your default folder.

What is Panopto?

How to Claim your Panopto Faculty/Staff Account at USD

• You Are Teaching a Course in Blackboard

  A Panopto link has been added to your navigation panel and the first time you, as the instructor for the course click it, you will activate your account as a "Creator" and you can record videos directly to the course folder. 
  
  As a "Creator" you can launch the Panopto recorder inside or outside of Blackboard. Your recordings will go to the Panopto course folder for student viewing.

  • Recording on Windows

  You can also record with Panopto in the new Faculty Teaching Studio.

  Note: You can change to folder you recording to by using the drop-down arrow. You may want to upload to "My Folder" so you are the only one that can view and then copy to another course folder later.

How Does Zoom/Panopto and Blackboard Work?

Your Zoom classes and Panopto lecture recordings are automatically uploaded to Panopto cloud storage so class videos are posted inside Blackboard.              

- Zoom is for synchronous 2-way video conferencing during class.
- Panopto is for asynchronous videos that can be recorded at any time. 
- Blackboard is where your videos show up in your Panopto course folder.

Using Zoom with Panopto

Your Zoom recordings automatically transfer to Panopto's secure video library where they benefit from the additional viewing and interactive capabilities within Panopto.

See how Panopto manages, searches, and shares Zoom recordings.

Using Blackboard with Panopto

Here's how it works:
