Configuring for Panopto

Before you can download or record using Panopto, you must first configure your Blackboard course. This is a critical step in getting started since it prepares and equips your course to integrate with Panopto. Configuring will do four key things: grant you creator rights to download panopto and create videos, create a course folder for your specific course, grant video-viewing permission to your course, and allow for student videos. It is important to note that each course, every semester, that you want incorporated with Panopto, will have to be configured.

1- Start the Configure Process

Login to Blackboard and select the course you wish to provision.

In the course menu, which resides on the left-side of your screen, find the 鈥淭ools鈥 link and click on it. This will open the 鈥淭ools鈥 page.
