UB Learns and Panopto

If you want to time release the videos in your course, use the availability settings in Panopto to hide individual recordings or an entire folder.

4. Click the plus button to add content and select Panopto Video in the Content (text) Editor.
   
5. Select the video(s) and click Insert Videos
   • Note: you can choose content from any folder you have access to on Panopto. Make sure the permissions on any folder you pull from give “can view” access to the current course viewer group.

Students enrolled in your course should automatically have access to the Panopto course folder that’s created when you configure the course for Panopto. To share videos from any other Panopto folder, such as a sub folder under your My Folder, update the Share section to include the current course viewer and creator groups.

Click on the folder or file you wish to share.

1. Click the share icon.
   
2. Under Who has access, click the down arrow.
3. Choose Specific People.
4. In Invite people, begin typing the name of the course (e.g., IE507) or the UB Learns course ID (e.g., 2209_12345) and a list of viewer and creator groups will pop-up.
5. Choose the Viewer group for your current course.
6. Select Can View in the drop-down box below.
7. Click Save changes.

Alternately, you can open your videos up to anyone at UB by choosing Anyone at the organization with the link in step 3, above.

Recordings with this access level are unlisted, meaning the session won't be discoverable by anyone browsing the site; they can only be accessed by having the direct link and a valid UBIT login.

In Panopto, you have the ability to add quiz questions to a Panopto video at any point during the presentation. The results can be sent to the UB Learns Grade Center. This is a two step process.
