Archived recordings

Panopto automatically archives any recording which has not been viewed in 18 months.

Information about archived recordings

  • Archived recordings are stored in the archive unless restored (NOT deleted - please see the below note).
    • Note: Recordings in the archive are automatically permanently deleted from Panopto 10 years after the date they were originally created/uploaded – in line with the University policy.

  • Restoration of an archived recording can take up to 48 hours.
