Folder Sharing Settings

In the previous guide, "Adding Recordings to a Canvas Course," the guide suggests that you can link your Panopto videos into different courses than the courses in which they were created. This is only true if you have adjusted the sharing settings for the video to allow others than those registered in the class to view the video. In other words, if you wanted to take a video that's in your ENGL&101 course, and share it with the students in your ENGL&102 course, you would have to adjust the sharing settings for the video to allow your ENGL&102 students to view it. Read more about this in the Sharing and Permissions article on the Panopto site.

Mixed-Security Content Blocking

You or your students may encounter mixed-security content blocking when trying to view Panopto videos that have been added as Module content items. You will see a small shield in your browser's address bar, or some other warning message:

One way to help prevent this is to always use "https://", rather than "http://" when adding video URLs to your course content. You may also want to advise your students that they may see this, depending on their browser and security configuration. The easiest way to deal with the issue is to click on the shield and allow the content to load, as long as you know the source of the content.
