Sharing Videos
PLEASE NOTE: If you are changing the share settings of a video embedded in Moodle, please use Anyone at the Organisation with the link. The link in this case refers to the Moodle site URL so will be secured by Moodle access. It will also prevent the video appearing in the Everything folder in Panopto.
Sharing folders, giving other users access, and publishing videos is straightforward. This guide shows you how the Panopto share setting works from inside their video storage system. The integration with Moodle synchronises Panopto's folder structure with our system – so it is organised into the familiar system of faculties, departments and modules. The aim is that you can concentrate on content rather than setting up folders.

Sharing videos within Panopto will probably seem familiar to you because it works in a similar way to sharing files in Google. Also, with our Moodle Integration, you will have automatic access to folders based on file location. For example, you may find a lecturer or Online Course Developer has access to your recording as they have category access or access to the folder directly above it in the structure.
If you have any questions regarding enrolment or access, please contact elearn@port.ac.uk in the first instance.
Under the title "Sign in to Panopto" you will see a dropdown box that offers three routes in to Panopto. For most users it will be simplest to accept the default: UoP SSO.
Press the green "Sign in" button. Log in using your normal university login details. The first time you do this you will be asked to consent to federation of accounts. Press "Yes".
If you have any problems with this, or have forgotten your password, please contact IS for assistance (servicedesk@port.ac.uk)

Note: a video inherits sharing permissions from its parent folder. A user may adjust this sharing permission to be more public than the parent folder setting, but not more private.
Specific people: This option allows you to share the video with specific people as viewers.
Anyone at your organization with the link: Choosing this option will enable viewing access for anyone who can log into your Panopto site and has the direct link. If the video is placed into a Moodle site, that site becomes the link
