Download Videos from Panopto Server

Panopto Video Retention Policy

We provide a five-quarter retention policy for course videos stored in Panopto.

This will affect any videos stored in a Panopto course video folder, including recurring automated lecture captures and Zoom recordings.

If you are currently using or plan to use course videos from prior quarters in your future courses, you will need to do one of the following:

  • Move the videos to a personal folder for long-term storage
  • Download the videos to your personal computer

The Faculty Self Service Portal has been recently upgraded to include a download feature.

The system will need to re-process the video before you can download the podcast with the new layout. Web viewer will not be affected by this change.

The default resolution for Panopto server is 720p at 30fps. Selecting a higher resolution for podcast download will only increase the size of the video, but not improve the quality.
