Moving a Panopto session
How to move a session from your personal Panopto folder to a Canvas course folder or WebLearn site folder
Many lecturers prefer to record initially to their personal Panopto folder. By default, your personal folder is only accessible to you, so it's a useful private space to store your sessions until you have edited and reviewed them. Once you are happy, you will want to share these sessions with students. The recommended method for doing so is to move the session(s) to a Panopto folder associated with either a Canvas course or a WebLearn site. Once moved, the session(s) will inherit the access permissions of the destination folder and members of the Canvas course or WebLearn site will be able to watch the session(s).
