Access and Set Up Panopto | Faculty

If you want to create and distribute multimedia content in your Blackboard Learn Ultra course, this article explains how to access and set up Panopto. These steps must be followed in each course, each term.

Opening Panopto from inside your course will set up the Panopto Video Library for the term. Because Panopto permissions are course-specific, any content created for this course folder will be immediately viewable by all enrolled students in the course.

You can open Panopto from Books & Tools (left menu in your course) or from a Panopto link inside Course Content. If you use the standard course layout, a link to Panopto is in the Getting Started folder.
