How do I share a Panopto session with students in my course?

Updated on

There are several ways to share a Panopto session with your intended viewers. Follow the steps below to ensure that only the students enrolled in your course will have access to your Panopto sessions.

1. Add the Panopto tool to your Sakai site.

When you add the Panopto tool to a Sakai site, a folder for that site is automatically created in Panopto. By default, students in the course can view sessions within this folder and instructors in the course can add content to this folder.
