How do I authenticate my Panopto account with a Sakai site?

Updated on

When the Panopto tool is added to a Sakai site, a folder for that site is created in Panopto. If the site is a course site, students enrolled in the site are able to view sessions in the course folder by default. If the site is a project site, users with the access role are able to view sessions in the site folder by default. 

If these sessions are added to the Lessons tool or the Resources tool, students and users with the access role will not be able to access these sessions within these tools until they authenticate their account. 

If a user attempts to access a session before authenticating, they will receive a message like the examples below. The user should not select Request Access. The user should follow the directions below to authenticate their account. 

Examples:

Denied Access to embedded Panopto Video

Do not select Request Access. Follow the instructions listed below.

Denied access to Panopto link

Do not select Request Access. Follow the instructions listed below.

Authenticate your account.

Login in to Sakai and open your Sakai site. Select the Panopto tool from the Tool Menu. 

Launch Panopto

Select Launch Panopto. A new tab will open with the Panopto Folder for that Sakai course. You have now authenticated your account and you will be able to access sessions in the Lessons tool and the Resources tool.
