This guide shows you how to change the sharing permissions on a recording so that people not enrolled in a Course Resources module can see it.

 

By default, Panopto recordings are only visible to people enrolled in the Course Resources module where the recording was made.

 

Changing access permissions – adding people

 

1. Navigate to Course Resources and log in;

2. Navigate to the module where the recording was made;

3. Click on Tools > Panopto Content to view a list of all recordings for that module. (You must be enrolled on that module as a Tutor);

 

 

 

4. Click on the share icon (two heads);

 

 

 5. Click on “Who has access” drop down menu;

 

 

6. A list of options appears. Each one has different levels of access control, explained in the subheading.

 

Unless you want to make this recording public to the internet, the highest level of access you should choose is “Anyone at your organisation”.

 

Anyone who has a university login can access this recording by clicking on the link, or finding it through the Panopto web interface.

 

 

7. If you want to share it with only specific people, or groups (i.e. all people enrolled in other modules), you can add them by entering their email address in the “Invite people” box, or the module name;

 

Enter the name, username or email address, and matching results will appear in a drop down.

 

Choose an individual, or a module from the results;

Tick the “Notify people by email” box to send an email to all users explaining their access to the recording;
