    • If the assignment folder does not appear, contact your instructor—they may need to create or enable it.
  •  Accidentally moved to the wrong folder?
    • Repeat the steps above and move the video again.
  •  Video won’t move?
    • Refresh the page and check your permissions. If the option to move is grayed out, contact our office at ASK COLTT.

  • Q: Can I copy instead of move a video?
    • A: Yes, Panopto allows you to make copies of a video. However, instructors typically prefer the video be submitted to the assignment folder rather than copied.
  • Q: Who can see my video after I move it?
    • A: Visibility depends on the folder settings. Videos in assignment folders are generally only visible to you and your instructor
