Panopto Everything tab
The Panopto Everything tab contains all University of Maryland (UMD) Panopto video assets, including your own, individual Panopto videos. Your own, individual Panopto videos will appear on the Everything tab and you will be able to see all of your Panopto videos listed. You determine the visibility and searchability of these videos based on video permissions you apply to Panopto folders you own.
Sharing and folder permissions
By default, all new Panopto folders (ELMS-Canvas courses or folders created in umd.hosted.panopto.com) are only shared with specific users in that folder. The permissions, by default, are set to specific people which includes Creators (users who can create and publish content) and viewers (users who can view) who have access to the folder. DIT recommends that you set folder permissions to Specific People in Panopto, particularly for folders associated with an ELMS-Canvas course space. Below are categories of the sharing permissions:
- Specific people: This allows you to share the folder (or individual videos) with specific Creators or Viewers. If folders are associated with an ELMS-Canvas course, Creators (faculty, TAs) and viewers (students) have access to the Panopto folder. Folders (or individual videos) set to Specific People will not appear under the Everything tab for other Panpoto users to view. Only you, as the owner, will see these items listed in both places. Panopto videos and folders with this permission cannot be accessed by users external to UMD. This is the recommended option for faculty/staff who want to share their content with students in a specific course.
- Anyone at your organization with the link: This allows anyone who can login to umd.hosted.panopto.com with Directory credentials AND who only has a direct link to the folder (or individual videos) to search through and view the folder. Folders (or individual videos) set to Anyone at your organization with the link will not display in the Everything tab for other Panopto users to view. Panopto videos and folders cannot be accessed by users external to UMD.
- Anyone at your organization: This allows users who can login to umd.hosted.panopto.com and does not have access to the direct folder (or individual videos link) to search and view your folder (or individual videos). Folders (or individual videos) set to Anyone at your organization will display in the Everything tab for other Panopto users to search and view. Panopto videos and folders cannot be accessed by users external to UMD.
- Anyone with the link: This allows anyone with the folder (or individual videos) link to search and view a folder (or individual videos) without signing into umd.hosted.panopto.com. Folders (or individual videos) set to Anyone with the link will not display in the Everything tab for other Panopto users to view. Panopto videos and folders can be accessed by users external to UMD.
- Unlisted: This means that the folder (or individual videos) won't be discoverable by anyone who can login to umd.hosted.panopto.com and can only be accessed by having the direct link. Folders (or individual videos) set to unlisted will not display in the Everything tab for other Panopto users to view. Panopto videos and folders cannot be accessed by users external to UMD.
- Public on the web: This means that the folder (or individual videos) are public and allows non-UMD users to search and access the folder (or individual videos) without signing into umd.hosted.panopto.com. Folders (or individual videos) set to public on the web will display in the Everything tab for other Panopto users to view. Panopto videos and folders can be accessed by users external to UMD.

Download videos
The ability to download a folder and videos is limited to UMD Panopto administrators and Creators only, by default. DIT recommends that users leave the setting Use Site Default so that only Creators in that folder can download Panopto videos, if needed. For more information, visit How to Enable Podcast Downloads in the Viewer Per Folder or Video.
Availability
By default, all Panopto videos created within a specific folder are available to Panopto Viewers immediately after uploading and processing is complete. Folders or individual videos can be made available after a start date and before an end date. Creators can prevent new sessions from being published to Viewers by setting folder availability to never. Videos can then be made available by editing or by setting availability for each individual video. For more information, visit How to Publish Videos Using the Availability Workflow.
Copy and move videos
Copied Panopto videos will inherit the same Creator and Viewer permissions from the original folder. For more information, visit How to Copy and Move Sessions.
NOTE: In Panopto documentation session and video are synonymous.
