Sharing Panopto Course Folder Access From D2L to Canvas

Modified on: Mon, Oct 7 2024 3:20 PM


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. 


  1. Login to Canvas and go to any course you have Instructor level access to. 
  2. Click on Panopto Recordings in the course menu. 
  3. It may take a few moments to load as it is creating the new account. 
  4. Once it loads, click the icon to "pop" Panopto out into its own window. 
  5. 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. 
  6. Now, go to Brightspace and navigate to a course that has Panopto videos you need to access from Canvas. 
  7. Click on Panopto Recordings. 
  8. Click on the "share" icon. 
  9. 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". 
  10. Click the Save button. 
  11. Now, if you access Panopto from Canvas, you should be able to locate the course folder that your Canvas user now has access to.
