Overview
Teachers, TA and support staff members could share videos on Panopto for teaching and learning purposes. By default, only the members of your Blackboard Course can access the videos in the respective Panopto folder.
For the convenience of teaching staff members, cloud recordings of Zoom meetings scheduled under Blackboard’s Zoom LTI can be set to be uploaded to Panopto automatically.
