In most cases, Panopto recordings--especially those that were recorded in Zoom--will be found in one of two locations. Either in the course folder where it's supposed to go (or subfolder). Or it's saved to a "Meeting Recordings" subfolder that is located with your personal "My Folder" in Panopto.

You can look around in Panopto as follows:

1. Sign into Panopto at https://umsystem.hosted.panopto.com with your university userid and password.
2. Click the My Folder button in the left-side menu.
3. Click the Meeting Recordings folder. NOTE: If you have been using Panopto for a few years, you most likely have multiple "Meeting Recording" folders. 

Once you are in Panopto, you can also click the Browse button in the left hand menu. This will give you access to all of your folders. You can click the "My Folders" tab to see only the folders for which you have access.

1. Click the arrow next to one of the folders to expand it and see the next layer down.
2. Continue clicking arrows until you see the folder that may contain your video.

NOTE: Videos recorded via Zoom in Canvas and copied over to Panopto will be stored in:

UM System Canvas Courses > Campuses > ROLLA > [college] > [program] > [semester] > [course]

Where [college], [program], [semester], [course] will pertain to YOUR relevant information.

Example:

> UM System Canvas Courses

> Campuses

> ROLLA

> College of Arts and Sciences

> Art

> 2022 Fall Semester (Art)

> 2022 Fall Semester - 2022-ART-1180-102 [Videos should be in this folder]

UM-System policy is to move videos that have not been played for 18-months into an "archived" state. This means no one will be able to watch the video until the video has been moved back into an active status.

If you see a video that is asking you to request access this way, you can click on it. The video should be available again within the next 24-48 hours.

To avoid having videos go into archive status, you just need to "play" the video at least once a year or so. You can hit play, watch it for 30 seconds or a minute and that should be enough to keep the video in the active state.

Videos do eventually go to a permanent archive if they have not been viewed for longer than 18 months. To retrieve those videos you will need to contact Missouri Online at teachingtools@umsystem.edu for assistance. There is no guarantee that the video is recoverable if it has been archived for a long enough period of time.

Videos WILL be deleted permanently if they are never watched for several years...

Yes. By default, Zoom meetings that are created through Zoom in Canvas will be automatically mapped to a corresponding Panopto folder.

However, you can also map personal Zoom meeting IDs to a Panopto folder for long term video storage. Remember that Zoom meetings recorded "to the cloud" will be stored in your Meeting Recording subfolder under your personal My Folder in Panopto. But you can create alternate subfolders in your My Folder or in the course folder and "map" the Zoom meeting to that subfolder directly.

This is useful if you want to only share Zoom meeting recordings with a group of students, for instance, or with colleagues at other institutions.

Here is how you can set up your own Zoom-to-Panopto folder mapping:

1. Find the Zoom Meeting ID you want to map. Write it down or copy it into your computer's clipboard.
2. Sign into Panopto at https://umsystem.hosted.panopto.com with your university userid and password.
3. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the round icon that has your initials in it and select User Settings.
   
   
4. Way down at the bottom of the page, click the Add New link.
   
   
   
   
5. Type in or paste the Zoom Meeting ID.
   
   
   
6. Select the Panopto folder from the drop-down menu. You'll need to dig deep to find the correct folder. 
7. Click Save.
