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
- Click on the Panopto Course Videos tab to get to the main course folder.
- Click on the settings icon in the upper right. This opens the main course folder settings window and will default to the Overview tab.
- Select Settings and locate the Downloads dropdown. By default this will be set to Admins, Videographers and Creators Only. Select Authenticated Users with Access to enable downloads for students.
Enable downloads for only one folder/specific folders
- Click on a subfolder.
- Click on the settings icon in the upper right of the selected subfolder.

Enable downloads for specific videos
- Hover over the video you’d like to make available for download and select Settings.
