Panopto is the video recording system which allows live or pre-recorded audio and video content to be securely accessed by students in Blackboard.
Panopto is the preferred tool for recording lecture content unless there is a need for the features that Collaborate offers.

How to make a link to a Panopto Recording
Once you have recorded a video in a Panopto course you can use the link address to add it to a folder elsewhere in the course:
Recorded Content (i.e. Panopto) > hover over the video > Share > copy the URL link
Paste this link anywhere within your Blackboard/Learning Edge area for example, within a folder as a weblink, within content or via an announcement.
