Zoom meetings at WSE which are cloud-recorded may be added to your Canvas course using Panopto. This article will show you how to enable this for your meetings and add the recordings to your course site.
Before recording Zoom meetings in your classes, please see the article Zoom Recording Best Practices for Privacy.
The synchronization is enabled on a per-meeting basis. Only Zoom meetings to which you've added the Panopto feature will display in your Canvas account. We recommend adding this synchronization to your Virtual Live meetings and other important sessions before the first session. The steps to add your Zoom cloud recordings to Panopto are as follows:
-
Locate your unique Canvas Course ID. The Course ID is a set of numbers that can be found at the end of the URL for your course's home page. Please note that the Canvas Course ID is not the same as your Course ID in SIS.
-
Important: Click the Panopto Video link in your Canvas course to create the folder. This has to be done before you make your first recording.
-
Create or Edit an existing recurring meeting in either the desktop application or from your WSE Zoom profile. The recurring meeting can be set to "No Fixed Time".
Please note the following:- You should not use your Personal Meeting ID if you want to automatically upload your recordings from Zoom to Panopto.
- We highly recommend that you name the Zoom meeting with course name, section and term. For example, "Office Hours EN.605.203.81.SP24" or "System Test & Evaluation EN.645.769.8VL.SP24".
- If editing an existing recurring meeting, be sure to select Edit All Occurrences to synchronize each iteration of the meeting.
- On the meeting schedule/edit page locate the panopto_folder_context field at the bottom of the page. Enter the Canvas Course ID number you located in Step 1 above.
- When automatically recording your Zoom meetings, make sure to select record to the cloud.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Now that you have the synchronization set up, all recordings for this meeting will appear under Panopto Video located in your Canvas course menu.
