Who Can Download Content
By default, people with Creator rights to a folder can download the videos in that folder, but those with only Viewer rights will not be able to do so.
How Do I Allow Downloads
Panopto creates a single mp4 file which can be downloaded and played without an internet connection. For students with limited internet access or who may be traveling, allowing access to downloads can be tremendously valuable.
The ability to download content can be enabled on a per folder or per file basis. Faculty who wish to allow downloading of their content can follow the instructions here: How to Enable Podcast Downloads.
Note: The ability to download is either on or off for all users. It can't be done on a per-user basis.
What Do the Files Look Like
Only One Source
If you only have a single source in your video (just your Webcam or your computer screen), the file Panopto creates is almost exactly what students would see when watching the session on-line.
or
Multiple Sources
For most recordings with more than one source, the downloadable file Panopto creates is a PiP (Picture-in-Picture) view. The video is fairly small and covers the bottom right of the content.
Zoom Cloud Recordings
For Zoom cloud recordings which have been automatically imported, Panopto creates a downloadable file in Side by Side view. The content is somewhat smaller and therefore may be harder to see, but the video is somewhat larger and does not cover any of the content
You can change the format which is downloaded by following the instructions here, How to Change the Format and Preview the Podcast Version of Videos.
Note: It is not possible to download each individual audio and/or video file for editing.
