Enable download of Panopto Course Videos recordings for students

By default, videos in Panopto are not downloadable by students. Panopto Creators (those in Canvas with the Teacher, Course Admin, or TA role) can manually adjust the download setting to be available to students on three levels: main course folder, a specific subfolder or only specific videos.

Enable downloads for all videos

  1. Click on the Panopto Course Videos tab to get to the main course folder.
  2. Click on the settings icon in the upper right. This opens the main course folder settings window and will default to the Overview tab.
