Faculty - Copy Panopto Videos From One Course Folder To Another Within Panopto

Modified on: Thu, Apr 21 2022 2:11 PM

When videos are created or uploaded into Panopto, they are added to a course specific folder within Panopto. This means that the videos will not exist in a subsequent semester's course folder within Panopto. If you are using the insert stuff method to embed videos in your course content within bright space, this shouldn't matter unless you have interactive content that you want the students to be able to use such as quizzes, table of contents, etc. It is easy to copy videos between course folders in Panopto using the instructions below: 


  1. In Brightspace, go to the new course where you want the videos copied to and click on Toolbox > Panopto Recordings. (This creates the new course's folder in Panopto if it didn't already exist)
  2. Now go to the course where the videos exist within a Panopto folder.
  3. Click on Toolbox > Panopto Recordings.
  4. On the right side of the page under "Powered by Panopto", you will see an icon that looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it. Click on it to open Panopto in a new tab or window.
  5. In the new tab you should see the same videos you saw within Brightspace, however now when you move your mouse over a video's thumbnail you will see a checkbox in the upper left corner. 
  6. Check the boxes for each video you wish to copy to another course.
  7. Near the top of the page, you will see buttons for Delete, Copy, Move, Share. Click on Copy. (Do not use the Move function)
  8. You should see a popup window that says "Copy video(s) to". Click in the box below that text and either browse to the destination course, or start typing the course code directly in the box and select the destination course.
  9. Click the green "Copy" button. 
  10. That's it!
