Link to Panopto recordings from Blackboard

There are three types of Panopto links that you can add in your Blackboard course.

Note: The folder link (1) is the recommended method as it will only need to be added once and recordings will automatically appear here after upload.

  1. A folder link – Allowing you to create a link within your Blackboard course that will contain all recordings made to this course. You will only need to create this link once as all future recordings to this course will automatically appear in the folder.
  2. An individual link – Allowing you to manually create links within your course to your individual Panopto recordings as and when you are ready (not available in Ultra documents).
  3. An embed into an Ultra document – Allowing you to embed an individual Panopto recording into an Ultra document

Add a folder link in your Blackboard course containing any Panopto recordings for the course

Where you want any Panopto recordings created for the course to be automatically visible in your Blackboard course, you need to use the Panopto Course Folder.

This will provide a folder containing the contents recorded to this course, including new recordings as and when you make them. You will only need to create this link once as all future recordings to this course will automatically appear in the folder.

QUICK STEPS: create a link to show all recordings within a content area

  1. Enter the relevant Blackboard course.
  2. Enter the content area that you want the link to sit in (this could be on the module front page, within a Learning unit or within a folder).
  3. Click the + icon
  4. Click Content Market from the drop down menu
  5. Click the + icon option for Panopto Course Folder.
    Note: Ensure you click the + icon, clicking the menu item will open the folder but not add it to the course

Adding an Individual video from Panopto to a Blackboard course

  1. Go to the area within your course where you want to display a video (this could be on the module front page, within a Learning unit or within a folder).
  2. Click the + icon
  3. Click Content Market from the drop down menu
  4. Click Panopto Course Video Embed
  5. Select the folder the video is stored in from the drop down list.
  6. Select the video you wish to add.

    Note: Adding an individual link in Blackboard to a recording via the tools menu will adjust any future availability dates you have set in the Panopto cloud. The availability date on the recording will be adjusted to the date and time you added the link – allowing the students to instantly be able to view the recording (Users are advised to use a Panopto folder link if they wish to use the recording availability dates in the Panopto cloud).
