Guide for learners to record with Panopto

Recording to a Panopto Assignments folder

Once a teacher has created an Assignments subfolder into course Panopto folder, students will have the right to install Panopto recorder and record or upload videos to that folder. By default, only the lecturer can see the recordings in the Assignments folder, and the learners can only see their own recordings. By default, videos of other students stored in the Assignments folder are not visible (the teacher can change this setting if necessary).

If by default only the teacher and the learner can see the videos in the assignment folder, the learners has the option to change their video sharing rights, e.g. make the video available with a link (Anyone with the link option).
