Automatically Saving Recorded Zoom Sessions in Panopto

Zoom offers integration with Panopto to automatically send recorded Zoom sessions to Panopto, which can then be further shared. Once the integration is enabled, all Zoom meetings that have been recorded in the cloud are automatically saved into Panopto. This feature is especially helpful if you host online classes and record them with Zoom for students to watch later.

Before You Begin

The integration only begins sending recordings from Zoom to Panopto after it is turned on. It will not apply to previous recordings, and those will need to be manually uploaded to Panopto.

Setting Up the Panopto + Zoom Integration

1. Open any course in WebCampus and select Panopto Recordings
2. In the top right corner, select Open in Panopto
   
   
    
3. From the top right corner of Panopto, select your user initials
4. Select User Settings
   
   
    
5. On the Info tab of the User Settings pop-up window, scroll to Meeting Import Settings
6. Check the UNLV Panopto Zoom Integration (Zoom) box and click Update
   
   
    
7. Select the default folder you want your Zoom meeting recordings to save to
8. You can also set meetings with a specific meeting ID to save to a folder of your choice. To do this, select Add New and create a mapping using that meeting ID.
   
   
    
   If you map a recording and re-use the Zoom meeting URL the following semester, the Zoom recordings will be moved into the mapped Panopto folder. Every meeting that uses this ID will be available in your Panopto folder. Only use this meeting ID for meetings you wish to share with your class or people with access to your Panopto folder.

Setting Your Zoom Recording Settings

In your Zoom account, make sure the following settings are checked. Enabling these settings will allow Panopto to optimize meeting playback. Then select Save.

1. Log into your UNLV Zoom web account
2. Select Settings on the left-hand navigation
3. Select Recording across the top panel
4. Ensure cloud recording is enabled

Using the Panopto-Zoom Integration

Once a Zoom session has been ended, Zoom will process the recording. This process may take up to 24 hours. Once Zoom processing is completed, Panopto will automatically import the recording. Panopto must then process the video which may take a few hours depending on the length of the recording. Generally, recordings will be available in Panopto the next day after it was recorded in Zoom.

Once the recording is ready in Panopto, you have multiple options to move and share the content like any other Panopto video.
