Before You Begin

• You and your students access Panopto using the Panopto Video link that is added to the course menu after activation.
• The Panopto Video link provides access to the full video library.
• Individual videos can also be embedded in the Rich Content Editor (RCE) using the Apps menu.

Canvas Course Copies (IMPORTANT!)

• After performing a course copy, you must Activate Panopto Video in the new course to trigger copy of the videos.
• It may take up to 24 hours for Panopto to copy videos into the new course.
• The new copies are Reference Copies. Reference copies reference the original video but provide a clean slate for collecting metadata (i.e., views, quiz results, comments, and notes).
