Sharing Panopto Course Folder Access From D2L to Canvas
Accessing Panopto from Canvas will create a new Panopto user account. The only way instructors will be able to access their video content is by allowing Panopto to create the new Canvas/Panopto account, accessing the course folder from D2L, and sharing the course folder to the new user account. The video above and instructions below detail how to do that.
- Login to Canvas and go to any course you have Instructor level access to.
- Click on Panopto Recordings in the course menu.
- It may take a few moments to load as it is creating the new account.
- Once it loads, click the icon to "pop" Panopto out into its own window.
- Click on your initials in the top right corner and copy the username. (It should be just your gfcmsu.edu email address). Close the Panopto window or tab.
- Now, go to Brightspace and navigate to a course that has Panopto videos you need to access from Canvas.
- Click on Panopto Recordings.
- Click on the "share" icon.
- In the window that opens, click in the name field and paste the username you copied from the other screen. (It may take a few moments to come up. When you see the listing that shows Canvas\<your username> click on it and then click on "Viewer" and change it to "Creator".
- Click the Save button.
- Now, if you access Panopto from Canvas, you should be able to locate the course folder that your Canvas user now has access to.
