Jose Milan, PTA, M.Ed. Faculty member and Department Chair of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program approached the Instructional Web team with an idea to make an app for students to quickly access videos for the skills taught in the program. Unlike Blackboard, with the app, students could continue to reference the skill videos in subsequent semesters. According to Jose, “Students have told me that it is a more efficient way to get to the videos than logging into Bb, navigate to the unit, and then click on a link. It works well on all their devices.”
All video content migrated from VidGrid is now accessible in Panopto. When you log into Panopto and navigate to your My Folder, you will see a folder called “VidGrid Migrations.” This folder contains all of the videos and subfolders that were included in the migration process. It is important to note that only the video owners have access to the migrated content at this time. If VidGrid videos were shared among multiple users, consider creating Shared Folders or Departments (see below).
Panopto Shared Folders
For those videos that are intended to be shared among a group of ACC users (employees, staff, students), Panopto supports the creation of shared folders. These folders can be created on request (via Mojo) and set up to only be accessible by specific individuals.
Please Note: Shared Folders are not intended for sharing with specific students via Blackboard. To share Panopto content with a Blackboard course section, please make use of the Panopto/Blackboard integration.
Panopto Departments
In addition to Shared Folders, Panopto also supports the creation and use of Departments. Departments are similar to a YouTube Channel in that they can be accessible by anyone (internal and external to ACC) based on the goals of the Department.

Austin Community College values the convenience and efficiency that Zoom cloud storage brings to our virtual learning and communication needs. However, due to the ever-growing volume of video content stored on Zoom servers, we must implement a revised retention policy for Zoom cloud recordings. Please read on for important information regarding this policy change and its impact.
What You Need to Know
Beginning December 15, all Zoom cloud recordings that are 120 days old will be automatically deleted from the Zoom video storage system. This policy applies to all users within the ACC community, including faculty, staff, and students.
Retention Alternatives
If you require access to Zoom recordings beyond the 120-day retention period, we recommend transferring your recordings to Panopto. Panopto offers a secure and user-friendly platform for storing and managing video content.
