Sharing a Panopto Recording with Individual Students

You can share a Panopto recording with individual students without sharing it with the rest of the class by changing course folder permissions.

Please Note: These steps will remove the default student permissions for a course Panopto folder. This means that students will only have access to videos if you deliberately add them after this change.

If you have some recordings in “Panopto Recordings” that are intended for viewing by all students in your course but want to share other recordings with only a limited number of students, please contact CDIL (canvas@bc.edu) for further assistance.
