Record Directly to a Panopto Class Folder in Canvas

It's important to note that you can always move recording sessions in Panopto between different folders as long as you have Creator permission on the recording or folder where it resides. This guide is intended to help you to anticipate that you would like to share the recording with your entire class as soon as you are creating/recording the session.

This guide is especially helpful if you are Recording in Panopto During Class.

The follow are the steps to record directly to your canvas folder.

  1. Open the Canvas site where you would like to place the recording. 
  2. Click on Panopto Video on the left navigation.
