Overview
If you want to share recordings with Students, either that have been recorded through Zoom or pre-recorded material you have created it is highly recommend you do this using a Panopto block in Moodle. Using the direct share settings in Panopto should only be used if you are sharing a recording with an individual or individuals who are not connected to a Module.
Why share recordings via Moodle?
Using the Moodle block to share recordings means you don’t have to do any manual share settings as it is shared with only the students enrolled on the module. Recorded lectures, seminars or workshops when recorded to the cloud in Zoom can be moved from the host’s meeting recordings folder in Panopto to the relevant module folder for easy sharing with students. These module folders are created when a Panopto block is added to a Moodle course. By adding recordings to the module folder in Panopto and approving them there it will then securely share the recording with only students enrolled on that course and is the recommended way to share content with students.
As well as Zoom recordings, any pre-recorded content for students created using the Panopto manual recorder that is stored in a persons my folder in Panopto can also be shared with students by moving it to the relevant module folder in Panopto to be viewed in Moodle as described above.
