Storing Your Zoom Meeting Recordings in Panopto

You can import your Zoom cloud recordings to Panopto by specifying a Panopto folder where the recordings will be stored. This feature only applies to future meetings (not past).

Panopto’s feature-rich environment allows users to view meeting participant video and shared content within the same window, and navigate throughout the presentation using clickable thumbnails, a searchable transcript, and optical character recognition performed on any text embedded in slides. Additionally, meeting organizers can easily share meetings with attendees and others, and track viewing of recordings using Panopto's sophisticated analytics tools.

Important Pre-requisites and Notes

  1. To use this feature, you will need to ensure that your Zoom account settings are configured as directed here.
  2. When recording a meeting, select Record to Cloud.
  3. When Panopto successfully imports a Zoom cloud recording, it moves the original to your Zoom trash. After 30 days, the recording is deleted from Zoom. The recording is governed by Panopto's retention policy, which can be found here.
  4. If you would like to receive email notifications from Panopto when your recording is published there, see Enabling Email Notifications in Panopto below.

Manually Transferring Zoom Recordings to Panopto

Moving Zoom Recordings to Panopto requires downloading the recordings from Zoom and then uploading them to Panopto. Be aware that you may have multiple recordings associated with a meeting. These will all be separate recordings or files in Panopto. To save time, you may want to download only one recording for each meeting and transfer that to Panopto. 
 
  1. Go to duke.zoom.us and click Recordings.
  2. Click the " ... " icon and select Download
  3. Go to duke.hosted.panopto.com and click My Folder.
  4. Locate the recording file you want in your Downloads folder and drag it to the Panopto window. 
  5. Repeat for each file.

 

Enabling Email Notifications in Panopto

There are two settings in Panopto that need to be enabled for you to receive email notifications that you have a new (Zoom or other) recording available in Panopto--on your individual User Account page, and on the Folder Settings page for each folder you'd like to receive alerts for.
 
  1. First, log in to duke.hosted.panopto.com
  2. Click on your name in the upper right.
  3. Click User Settings
  4. Click Notifications in the left menu
  5. Tick the box that says "Notify me via email and Microsoft Teams (if connected) when sessions finish processing."
  6. Next, visit the folder into which your Zoom recordings are going and for which you would like to enable notifications.
  7. Press the small gray gear icon in the upper right
  8. Click Settings from the left menu
  9. Tick the box that says "Notify me via email and Microsoft Teams (if connected) when sessions finish processing."

You should now receive an email notification for any new content that is published within the particular folders you have configured.
