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.

To begin utilizing Panopto in a Blackboard course, instructors must first prompt Panopto to create a provisioned course folder.
