Archived recordings

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

    • Note: Recordings in the archive are automatically permanently deleted from Panopto 6 years after the date they were originally uploaded – in line with the University policy.

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