Embedding Panopto Videos in Blackboard Ultra
Summary
Embed Panopto video content into a Course Content area or Document in an Ultra site.
Overview
Lecture capture recordings are available though the LTI link to the module's Panopto folder. However, you can also link to or embed videos within module content.
Warning
If you wish to reuse videos from a previous year, current students will not automatically have access to older content. Refer to our Reusing Media guide for details on how to set this up correctly.
