Panopto is an enterprise video hosting platform, providing a cloud-based service to centrally manage your recorded videos, lectures, and presentations. Panopto is fully integrated into ACC’s Blackboard learning management system, allowing for instructor users to record, upload, embed, or link video content within their courses.

- In the Add Tool Link window, select Panopto Course Folder Tool from the Type: drop-down menu. Name the tool link “Panopto” (or use similar wording to easily located the link in your course menu) and leave Available to Users unchecked. Content stored within the provisioned folder should be made available to students by either embedding or linking the video(s) within content areas in the course. Click Submit when finished.
- The newly created tool link is now visible at the bottom of the course menu. Click on the link to prompt Panopto to create the provisioned course folder.
- The provisioned course folder is now available. The folder name is the same as the Blackboard course name. Click on the +Create button to record or upload content to the folder.
