Understand the Integration between Panopto & Zoom

Panopto & Zoom Integration Explained

This integration automatically adds all cloud-recorded meetings and webinars to your Panopto library. Because there is a limit (130 days) on how long your meeting recordings remain in the Zoom Cloud before being deleted, this integration with Zoom allows for a copy to be sent over to Panopto to be kept as a backup to access and use. It is also beneficial because it allows for greater flexibility directly within Panopto for editing, organizing, and sharing your Zoom cloud recordings.

By default, everyone is opted-in to this integration with Zoom meaning your Zoom cloud recording is automatically being copied over to Panopto to be stored as a backup. Where your Zoom cloud recording gets stored in Panopto will depend on which of the following situations pertain to you.

• You have an existing Panopto account and your meeting was scheduled from the Zoom web portal. In this case, your Zoom cloud recording will be copied and stored in a folder named Meeting Recordings which exists within your personal folder named My Folder.
• You have an existing Panopto account, your meeting was scheduled from within a Brightspace course, and a Panopto course folder has been created. In this case, your Zoom cloud recording will be copied and stored in the course Panopto folder.
• You have an existing Panopto account, your meeting was scheduled from within a Brightspace course, and a Panopto course folder has not been created. In this case, your Zoom cloud recording will be copied and stored in a folder named Meeting Recordings which exists within your personal folder named My Folder.
• You don't have an existing Panopto account. In this case your Zoom cloud recording will not be copied over to Panopto because it requires you to have an existing Panopto account. Learn how to create your Panopto account by viewing the Access Panopto help page.

To summarize, it is imperative that you have an existing Panopto account established before you conduct and record your Zoom meeting or webinar to the cloud. This will ensure that your cloud recording gets directed to the appropriate Panopto folder. To create a Panopto account, view the Access Panopto help page.

Also, if you are scheduling your meetings via Brightspace and recording them to the cloud, it is imperative that you create your Panopto course folder before you conduct and record your Zoom meeting to the cloud. This will ensure that the recording will get directed to the course Panopto folder. To create your course Panopto folder, view the Access Panopto via Brightspace help page.

Map Zoom Cloud Recording to Specific Panopto Folder

If you want specific Zoom cloud recordings to automatically copy to a different folder other than the default "Meeting Recordings" Panopto folder or Brightspace course Panopto folder, you can change the folder location for specific Zoom meetings.

Please view the Map Zoom Cloud Recording to Specific Panopto Folder help page for these instructions.

Opt-Out of the Panopto/Zoom Integration

If you do not want your Zoom cloud recordings to be automatically copied over to Panopto, users have the ability to opt-out of this process. The opt-out setting can be accessed within Panopto.

Step 1

Sign in to Panopto using one of the methods mentioned in the Access Panopto help page.

Step 2

Select your profile button in the upper right.

Step 3

Select the User Settings button.

Step 4

On the User Settings window, navigate to the Meeting Import Settings section. By default, the checkbox to the left of the Zoom-Panopto Main Campus Zoom (Zoom) integration should be selected.

Step 5

To opt-out of automatic meeting imports, deselect this checkbox and select Update.

Meetings that you schedule from the Zoom web portal and record to the cloud will no longer automatically copy to Panopto.

Now, if you schedule your Zoom meetings from within your Brightspace courses and would like to opt-out from having those recordings automatically copy over to Panopto review the section below.

Opt-Out of Zoom Recording Imports for a Course

Opting-out of the Panopto/Zoom integration in the section above does NOT affect Zoom meeting recordings that are scheduled from within a Brightspace course.

Instructors can manually opt-out on an individual course-by-course basis from having their course Zoom recordings automatically copy over to their Panopto course folder.

Step 1

From the Brightspace course Navbar, select UA Tools and then select Panopto Video. Some Eller courses may not utilize the UA Tools menu option in the Navbar. For those courses you will likely find the Panopto link within a particular content module.

Step 2

You will be directed to the Panopto course folder for the course you just came from. Select the Settings icon from the upper right corner of the browser window.

Step 3

In the left navigation, select the Settings tab and then navigate down to the Meeting Import section.

Step 4

In the Meeting Import section, select the option Do not import meetings for this course and then select Save.
