What happens when a video is archived?

When a video hasn’t been viewed in 18 months, it becomes archived. Videos that are archived aren’t gone, they just no longer appear automatically in search, and must be restored from the archived state before watching.

To include archived videos in search, first make the search on the UB Panopto web interface. Then, check the box labeled Show archived videos next to the search filters.

How do I restore an archived video?

Video editors and viewers can request that an archived video be restored directly using the Panopto web interface. Open the archived video in the Panopto viewer and click Restore from Archive.

Please note that restoring archived videos can take up to 48 hours.
