Panopto’s native integration with Blackboard connects video creation, delivery, and assessment directly to the LMS environment that faculty and students already use. The integration is built on LTI 1.3 with Single Sign-On (SSO) support—so instructors and students access Panopto from within Blackboard using their existing credentials, with no separate login required. Every Blackboard course is automatically paired with a corresponding Panopto folder, keeping content organized without manual setup. Instructors record, upload, and embed video from any course content area using either the Panopto LTI tool or embed codes. Students view recordings, submit video assignments, and access course materials without leaving Blackboard. Panopto inherits Blackboard course roles and permissions automatically, so access control stays aligned with institutional policies without separate configuration in Panopto. ## Benefits - Record, upload, and embed video without leaving Blackboard - Students access all course video inside the LMS—no separate login needed - Course video folders are created and organized automatically - Blackboard course roles and permissions sync to Panopto automatically - Students record and submit video assignments natively in Blackboard - Quiz scores pass directly to the Blackboard gradebook - Works across both Blackboard Ultra and Original course views - Every recording is captioned and transcribed at the point of publication ## Features - LTI 1.3 integration - Single Sign-On (SSO) - Automatic course folder provisioning - LMS folder hierarchy mirroring - Video embedding across all course content areas - Student video assignments - In-video quizzes with gradebook passback - Role-based permissions sync - Blackboard Ultra and Original support - Viewer analytics - Automated captions and transcripts - Intelligent search across all course video ## Support and documentation **Setup and configuration** - [Learn about the Blackboard integration](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Learn-about-the-Blackboard-Integration) - [How to set up a Blackboard integration with LTI 1.3](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Set-Up-a-Blackboard-Ultra-Integration-with-LTI-1-3) - [How to set up a Blackboard integration with LTI 1.1 (legacy)](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Set-Up-a-Blackboard-Ultra-Integration) **Using the integration** - [How to use Panopto with Blackboard for instructors](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Use-Panopto-with-Blackboard-Ultra) - [How to embed a video into a Blackboard Ultra course](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Embed-a-Video-Into-a-Blackboard-Ultra-Course) - [How to embed a video into a Blackboard course from the Build Content menu](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Embed-Content-into-the-build-in-Blackboard) - [How to find and view Panopto recordings in Blackboard](http://support.panopto.com/s/article/Find-and-View-Panopto-Recordings-in-Blackboard) **Assignments and grading** - [How to create a video assignment in Blackboard](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Assignment-Submission-Workflow-in-Blackboard) - [How to create a video assignment in Blackboard Ultra](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Embed-a-Video-Into-a-Blackboard-Ultra-Course) - [How to submit a video assignment in Blackboard](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Submit-a-Video-Assignment-in-Blackboard) - [How to submit a video assignment in Blackboard Ultra](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Submit-a-Video-Assignment-in-Blackboard-Ultra) - [How to use a Panopto quiz as a Blackboard assessment](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Use-a-Panopto-Quiz-as-a-Blackboard-Assessment-Blackboard-Gradebook) - [How to set up the Blackboard gradebook integration for Panopto quizzes](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Blackboard-Gradebook-Admin) ## Frequently asked questions How does the Panopto Blackboard integration work?Panopto integrates with Blackboard Learn via LTI 1.3, creating a direct connection between the two platforms so video creation, delivery, and assessment are available inside Blackboard without a separate login. Every Blackboard course is automatically paired with a Panopto folder, and Blackboard course roles sync to Panopto automatically. The integration supports both Blackboard Ultra and Blackboard Original course views. Instructors embed video into any course content area using either the Panopto LTI tool or embed codes. Students view recordings, submit video assignments, and access course materials without leaving Blackboard. Does the Panopto Blackboard integration work with both Blackboard Ultra and Blackboard Original?Yes. Panopto is fully compatible with both Blackboard Ultra and Blackboard Original course views. Course folder provisioning, video embedding, student video submission, and instructor workflows function across both environments. For institutions in the process of migrating from Blackboard Original to Ultra, Panopto’s compatibility with both views means the integration remains functional throughout the transition. Separate documentation is available for Ultra and Original workflows where the steps differ, and links to both are included in the support documentation on this page. Can students submit video assignments in Blackboard through Panopto?Yes. Instructors create video assignment activities in Blackboard, and students record or upload a submission through Panopto and submit it within the assignment. Submissions are stored in the course’s Panopto folder and accessible to the instructor for review within Blackboard. Separate submission guides are available for Blackboard Original and Blackboard Ultra, as the student workflow differs between the two course views. Both are linked in the support documentation on this page. Does Panopto support in-video quizzes with Blackboard gradebook reporting?Yes. Panopto in-video quizzes can be used as Blackboard assessments, with quiz scores passing to the Blackboard gradebook when the integration is configured. This gives instructors a way to assign and record credit for in-video assessment within Blackboard’s existing grading workflows. Setup steps for the Blackboard gradebook integration for Panopto quizzes are covered in the support documentation linked on this page. What is the Blackboard Building Block, and is it still supported?The Blackboard Building Block was a legacy integration method used to connect Panopto and Blackboard before LTI-based integrations became standard. It is no longer the recommended approach and has been deprecated. Institutions still using the Building Block should review the deprecation documentation and plan migration to the LTI 1.3 integration. The deprecation notice and guidance are linked in the support documentation on this page. ## Category Collaboration tools
