Default Teams Recording Location
Move MS Teams recordings to the Panopto module folder
Any recordings made via MS Teams through a Blackboard site will be stored on your OneDrive. To make sure all students, including anyone who has not attended, have access to the videos, recordings need to be moved to the Panopto module folder.
How to make recordings available to all the students on a module.
The best practice is to make sure all recordings are stored in the Panopto folder for the module.
This has the following advantages:
All recordings are in one place and videos are not lost or accidentally deleted.
Your students can make use of the feature found on Panopto (e.g. Captioning, Transcript, Searching)
All students enrolled on your course will also have rights to view the videos automatically.
You can see viewer analytics on who has watched the recording.
Note: You will need to follow these two steps below to make sure your students have access to the module session recordings.
Step 1. Configure the Panopto App in Teams
On your Teams application, you will see a Panopto App. This allows for all your Teams recordings to be exported automatically to your ‘My Folder/Meeting Recordings’ on Panopto.
You will only need to do this once and the settings will be saved.
Enable Panopto App on Teams
1. Click on the Panopto App, found on the left-hand side menu of the Microsoft Teams desktop application. If it is not there, please click on the three dots ‘More added apps’, to search for the app.
2. On the pop-up window, authenticate to Blackboard
3. Press the Retry button, if you get the message – There was a problem reaching this app.
4. Click on the ‘Settings’ and under the subheading ‘Pause Import of Personal Meetings Recordings’, make sure the ‘Pause Import’ button is showing.
5. Under the ‘Default Recordings Folder‘, please select the folder ‘Meeting Recordings‘, if this is not showing already.
Congratulations: Your Panopto App is now set up and all your Teams recordings will be exported automatically to Panopto to the folder ‘My Folder/Meeting Recordings‘. The exported videos will appear on the Panopto, approximately one hour after the recording has ended.
Step 2. Move Videos to Your Module Panopto Folder
Once the recordings appear on the Panopto folder (My Folder/Meeting Recordings), you will then need to move the recording from your ‘My Folder/Meeting Recordings‘ on Panopto to the Module folder on Panopto.
This process below ensures all students/instructors enrolled in a module get automatic access to the video.
Note: The exported videos will appear on the Panopto after about One Hour.
