How do I share Panopto folders or videos with anyone at UMBC?

This provides guidance on sharing an entire Panopto folder or video library; may also be applicable for sharing a video without copying its link.

Tell Me

  1. Click on the share icon or button for the folder or video (as the case may be).

  2. This opens a pop-up window for the sharing settings, revealing who might already have access.

  3. Click the dropdown menu within the “Who has access” area.

  4. Choose "Anyone at your organization with the link"




  5. Click away from the dropdown menu.

  6. Copy and paste the link above the dropdown menu and send it to your colleagues or students.

  • By default, UMBC instructors will inherit creator access to their Panopto course folders or videos; similarly, UMBC students will equally inherit viewer access in these courses.

  • Non-official members of the course (a.k.a. other “Specific People,”)  can be given appropriate viewer or creator access by the instructor, as needed.

  • Clicking on the Specific People-drop down menu under “Who has access” will reveal additional sharing options.

  • A person or user group's access can be removed by clicking on the ‘X’ next to the person’s name.

  • Be sure to Save Changes each time a change has been made.

Please do not accidentally delete your creator access or students' viewer access in the process; students will be unable to view any Panopto content if "can view" access is removed from the course user group.
