Set sharing and download settings in Panopto
If you or your students are having trouble viewing Panopto videos, you may need to change the sharing settings or check that you have uploaded the video to the right folder. You can move or copy to video to the correct unit folder. Alternatively, you may wish to limit user access, or the time a video is available from/until, or even delete a video.
Sharing settings
Important note: The interface for Panopto sharing settings shown in the video have changed. Please review the instructions below to familiarise yourself with the current interface. The advice for recommended sharing settings remains the same.
