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.
Locate the Panopto icon, and click on the corresponding title 鈥淧anopto Content.鈥�
You should now see a 鈥淐onfigure鈥� button. Click on it.
Note: If you have a Re-Configure button instead of a Configure button, you have provisioned
for Panopto in this course before, and will need to use the Reconfigure training.
2- Creating the Panopto Course Folder
In the 鈥淐onfigure Panopto Course鈥� screen, reference number 1, is a dropdown menu has been selected for you and greyed. The address listed in the greyed out dropdown is the web address for our WSU panopto server, which is important to remember for the future when you need to edit videos or folders.
Click on 鈥淎dd Course to Panopto,鈥� reference number 2. Please note that you will not see the reference numbers on your configure page.
3- Panopto Configure Results Page
The 鈥淐onfigure Panopto Connector鈥� page should appear, showing your provisioning results. Under result, it should say 鈥淪uccessfully provisioned course鈥�.鈥� and the name of your course.
Click on 鈥淩eturn to Course.鈥�
4- Panopto Video Button Added
In your course, there should now be a 鈥淧anopto Video鈥� button located in the course menu.
If you already had a Panopto Video button, you may have rolled over content from a course that had previously used Panopto or your course may already be provisioned.
If you do not see the Panopto Video button in your course menu, you may need to exit the course and log back in or refresh your page.
