How do I copy/share Panopto recordings from one course to another course in Blackboard? (Staff)

To share Panopto videos from previous years, copy them into the current years’ folder of the course. This grants all students enrolled on the course in Blackboard access to view the video.

  • Log in to Panopto.aber.ac.uk
  • Use Browse in the left-hand menu to locate the folder from which you want to copy.

Alternatively use the search bar at the top of the page.

For Information: This process creates a reference copy of the video which takes up minimal additional storage. Video reference copies refer back to an original source video but with a completely clean slate of viewer-contributed metadata, such as quiz results, comments, and notes. When its source video is edited, the reference copy will automatically also reflect the same edits. Learn more at Learn About Video Reference Copies. Note: Prior to making edits on an original source video, the user will receive a warning window indicating that the video is referenced by other video(s).
