Automate Lecture Recording for Students
If you are using Zoom to host your class meetings or online lectures, you can have your recordings automatically delivered to a specific course folder in Panopto instead of Meeting Recordings (cloud recordings in Zoom will automatically appear here by default).
From there, you can embed your videos within your course content or make a list of recordings available to students via Panopto Recordings.
Please follow the video guide below to set up the Zoom-to-Panopto integration. If you want to get a head start, set up your meetings in Zoom and have your meeting ID ready before starting the video.
How to Set Up Zoom-to-Panopto
Follow the steps in this short video to set up the Zoom-to-Panopto integration yourself.
NOTE: Ensure you have a BC Zoom account and that you are added to the Zoom Users Group which allows the Zoom-to-Panopto to Canvas handshake to occur. Read instruction on how.
Text Instructions
You can create a one-time meeting, a recurring meeting, or a personal meeting room.
You’ll need the Meeting ID before heading over to Panopto. Recurring meetings will all have the same Meeting ID, so you only need to copy it once.
After you have copied the meeting ID then go to your Canvas site. Select Panopto Recordings. (If you do not see this in the Canvas Course Navigation then you may need to Enable this. To enable Panopto Recordings in your Course Navigation, select Settings from your course navigation, and then select the Navigation tab on the Settings page. Scroll the list to find Panopto Recordings and select the ellipsis button (three dots), from the drop down, select Enable, and then scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save.)
Within Panopto page on Canvas select the little ↗ arrow at the top right of the Panopto page. The screen tip will say “Open in Panopto.” This will open Panopto in a new tab in your browser, with the Panopto logo on the top left. You’re actually on the Panopto server now.
Select your initials in top right of the Panopto page, then from the pulldown menu select “User Settings.” At the bottom of the user settings page, find the section called “Meeting Import Settings.”
Select “Add New.” In the first box paste your Zoom Meeting ID. Remove the spaces between the digits. Next find your course in the Folder by typing the name/number (5-digit number) of your course or select the small arrow to find your course from the drop down.
Select your course once you find it, and don’t forget to select SAVE.
