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. When you log in to other classes, your account will already have been created and a new folder for that course will be created. This keeps your Panopto recordings organized.
The first time you click on the Panopto Video link, it will ask you to configure your course.
Click on Configure and then on Add Course to Panopto.
On the next screen, click on Return to course.
Click on the link again and will now see Panopto integrated inside of Blackboard.
You now have a "Creator" role and can launch the Panopto recorder inside or outside of Blackboard. Your recordings will go to the Panopto course folder for student viewing.
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.
Note: Your students do not have a "Creator" role. They have a "Viewer" role but you can assign students to create videos within Blackboard and Panopto will grant them "Creator" access just for that one assignment.
Recording Video with Panopto
Once your account has "Creator" Role you can start recording videos from anywhere.

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.

Here's how it works:
