Panopto - How to Integrate Zoom and Panopto in Blackboard

Panopto provides Blackboard users with an easy method for embedding Panopto recordings directly into their courses. Recordings will continue to stream from Panopto without using any storage space on Blackboard.

 

1. Go to Blackboard and log in (Fig. 1). Select the course you are working in. Make sure that the course is provisioned to use Panopto. For more information on provisioning click here.

2. Locate the Content area where you are wanting to place the Zoom link for students to access. In the Content area, click on Tools and select the More tools option, and choose the Zoom Scheduler for Panopto (Fig.2).

5. Create a link for the Zoom meeting and deploy the link inside your Blackboard course. When you start the Zoom meeting, the recording will be recorded to the Panopto library. Once the video has been published, you will be able to embed, create a link to the video, and share the video within the course.
