Copy a Panopto Video from One Course to Another

Tags Panopto

It is recommended to do a full Blackboard course copy when copying embedded Panopto content. If you need to copy individual items without doing a full course copy, you will need to take additional steps to ensure the videos get copied and embedded, which can be found under the header "Copying individual videos" below. 
Please Note: When copying from Blackboard Original to Blackboard Ultra, you will need to copy and re-link each of the videos individually.

    2. Create Full Copy - A full copy will create a brand new version of the video that will be a standalone video. It will not be linked to this version of the video, and any changes made to this new full copy will not be applied to the original video.
