Overview

Learn how to manage the settings for videos you create/upload into Panopto. This includes how to share them, organise them into folders and add them to playlists (as well as everything else you need to know to manage folders/playlists). This resource will link entirely off to Panopto guides.

Create, share and manage playlists*

*Default share settings should generally suffice and should only be changed if necessary.

**Videos can be copied as full copies or reference copies of the original (information on reference copies is provided in the resource on editing videos). When you copy a folder, you will create reference copies of all of the videos within it.

Note on settings inheritance

Folders, videos and playlists will automatically inherit share settings (i.e. who can edit/access the content) and video settings (i.e. whether downloads and public comments are enabled) from the folder they are created into/contained in. The child content item inherits from the parent folder. This means that modifications made to a parent folder will also be applied to the child content contained within it.

However, this does not apply in reverse - changes made to a child content item will not impact its parent folder. In fact, modifying a share or video setting on a child content item will stop automatic inheritance of the modified setting(s) from the parent folder.

Note on video discussions

By default, learners will be able to discuss videos uploaded to Panopto. Panopto discussions allow learners to post timestamped comments on a video that educators and learners can respond to. For example, they may add a question about a specific section of the video that you can later provide an answer.
