Publish Recordings

When you stop a recording, it will automatically publish the recording to the Panopto folder that you set prior to starting the recording.

See our FAQ on Panopto Folders for more information about the different types of folders in Panopto. If you selected your Canvas course folder in Panopto then your students will be able to view it from the “Panopto” button on your Canvas course menu.

Panopto also allows you to record and upload to a folder without automatically publishing them for viewers and students to see. To do this, you have two options:

• Publish Recordings Using the Availability Workflow
• Publish Recordings Using the Approval Workflow

It is possible to publish a recording to a folder that is not associated with a course in Panopto, and then move/copy the Panopto recording from one Panopto Folder to another. For instance, this process can be helpful when you want to edit a recording prior to making it available for students in Canvas.

Find Your Zoom Cloud Recordings in Panopto and Share Them in Canvas

Things to note:

• By default, Zoom Cloud recordings in Panopto are only viewable by the meeting host.
• We recommend Canvas instructors enable Panopto in your course before sharing Zoom Cloud recordings.
• In order for students in Canvas to view Zoom Cloud recordings the host must copy or move them into the correct Panopto course folder. Using this method, students will not be able to download nor share these recordings with others outside the Canvas course.
