Syncing Permissions Between Brightspace and Panopto

IMPORTANT! Make sure you click on the Panopto Video - BRK link at least once prior to using your Panopto folder.

 

Brightspace automatically synchronizes your course roster with Panopto to allow instructors and students access to course videos. However, this process must be triggered by clicking on the Panopto Video - BRK at least one time prior to use of your Panopto folder. 


Why Can't I Publish my Content?

Many instructors find that, upon provisioning their Brightspace course to work with Panopto, they don't have the immediate ability to publish and release their own content.

At the time of writing, granting publisher rights is a manual process that must be handled by a Panopto administrator.

Please contact the Service Desk at help@downstate.edu to request publishing rights to your course(s).
