Panopto

Tip! Whether you access Panopto via the SSO ([FHSU.hosted.panopto.com](https://FHSU.hosted.panopto.com)) or via Blackboard Ultra, the steps that follow are the same.

Locate the folder, and video you would like to download. Here is an example: Click "My Folder"

Click "Assignments"

Click on the video to open it.

Click this icon.

Click "Download podcast"

Alert! The video will now start to download to your device as a .MP4 video file. Do not be confused that Panopto refers to the option as a "podcast" download.

Alert! Panopto videos can only be downloaded one at a time. There is no bulk download feature. All Panopto videos are backed up and saved to the cloud. You do not need to do so yourself (for student grade challenges, incomplete or "I" grades, etc.) Your automatically generated course folders will exist for your course until you remove the content. As long as you have access to Panopto through FHSU, you will have access to these videos.
