Inserting a Video from a Previous Section

Videos recorded or uploaded to Panopto are usually housed in a folder designated for the course in which they were created. If using a Panopto recording from a previous course in a new section, there are additional steps to take to migrate the video into the new class section.

Videos can be added as single files to Content using the "Add a Video" option. To embed the video onto a page in Content, or another place with the HTML Editor, use the "Insert Stuff" option.

Add a Video File from a Previous Course
