Panopto’s native integration with D2L Brightspace 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 full Single Sign-On (SSO) support—so instructors access Panopto’s recording and management tools without leaving Brightspace, and students engage with video content inside the courses where they do the rest of their work. Every Brightspace course is automatically paired with a corresponding Panopto folder, keeping content organized without manual setup. Instructors record, upload, and embed video from any content area or module. Students view lecture recordings, complete in-video quizzes, and submit video assignments—all within Brightspace. Quiz scores and video completion grades pass directly to the Brightspace gradebook. Panopto inherits Brightspace’s course roles and permissions automatically, so access control stays aligned with institutional policies without requiring a separate configuration in Panopto. ## Benefits - Record, upload, and embed video without leaving Brightspace - Students access all course video inside the LMS—no separate login needed - Course video folders are created and organized automatically - Quiz scores and completion grades pass directly to the Brightspace gradebook - Brightspace course roles and permissions sync to Panopto automatically - Students record and submit video assignments natively in Brightspace - Course video copies to new sections automatically via Course Copy v2 - 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 - Insert Stuff tool for video embedding - Student video assignments - In-video quizzes with gradebook passback - Role-based permissions sync - Course Copy v2 - Peer video review - Automated captions and transcripts - Viewer analytics ## Support and documentation **Setup and configuration** - [How to set up the D2L Brightspace integration](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Configure-Brightspace-D2L-and-Panopto-Admin) - [How to set up the D2L integration for LTI 1.3](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Set-Up-the-D2L-Integration-for-LTI-1-3) - [How to set up the Panopto Insert Stuff tool in D2L Brightspace for LTI 1.1](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Configure-the-Panopto-Insert-Stuff-Tool) **Using the integration** - [Learn about the D2L Brightspace integration](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Learn-About-the-Brightspace-D2L-Integration) - [How to embed videos into a D2L Brightspace course using the Insert Stuff tool](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Use-the-Panopto-Insert-Stuff-Tool-Faculty) - [Learn about LMS course structure mirroring in Panopto when using Canvas, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/LMS-Folder-Hierarchy) - [How to set up and use Course Copy v2 in D2L Brightspace](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Set-Up-and-Use-Course-Copy-v2-in-D2L-Brightspace) **Assignments and grading** - [How to create a video assignment in D2L](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Create-a-Video-Assignment-in-D2L) - [How to submit a video assignment in D2L](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Submit-a-Video-Assignment-in-D2L) - [Learn about Panopto student video submission for D2L, Blackboard Ultra, and Moodle](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Learn-About-Panopto-Student-Video-Submission-For-D2L-Blackboard-Ultra-and-Moodle) - [How to use a Panopto quiz as a graded activity in D2L Brightspace](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Use-a-Panopto-Quiz-in-D2L) - [How to set up the D2L Brightspace gradebook integration for Panopto quizzes (LTI 1.1)](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Set-Up-D2L-Quiz-Reporting) - [How to use a Panopto video as a graded activity in D2L Brightspace](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Use-a-Panopto-Video-as-a-Graded-Activity-in-D2L-Brightspace) - [How to enable D2L student video submission for LTI 1.1](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Enable-D2L-Student-Video-Submission) ## Frequently asked questions How does the Panopto D2L Brightspace integration work?Panopto integrates with D2L Brightspace via LTI 1.3, creating a direct connection between the two platforms so video creation, delivery, and assessment are available inside Brightspace without a separate login. Every Brightspace course is automatically paired with a Panopto folder, and Brightspace course roles sync to Panopto automatically. Instructors access Panopto’s recording and management tools from within Brightspace using the Panopto Insert Stuff tool, which is available wherever the Brightspace content editor appears. Students view recordings, complete in-video quizzes, and submit video assignments without leaving Brightspace. How do instructors add Panopto video to a D2L Brightspace course?Instructors embed Panopto video into any Brightspace content area using the Panopto Insert Stuff tool, which is available in the Brightspace content editor across modules, discussions, assignments, and pages. Instructors browse their Panopto library, select a recording, and insert it directly into the content area without leaving Brightspace. The Insert Stuff tool works for both LTI 1.3 and LTI 1.1 environments, though setup steps differ between the two. The relevant configuration guides are linked in the support documentation section on this page. Does the Panopto D2L Brightspace integration support course copying?Yes. Panopto’s Course Copy v2 feature supports D2L Brightspace, allowing video content to carry across to new course folders when a course is provisioned from a Brightspace template. When a new course is created from an existing template, Panopto creates reference copies of the source course’s video content in the new course folder. Copied content is cleared of prior student data—including notes, discussions, quiz results, and viewing statistics—so each new course section starts clean. The setup and usage guide for Course Copy v2 in D2L Brightspace is linked in the support documentation on this page. Can Panopto quiz scores pass to the D2L Brightspace gradebook?Yes. Panopto in-video quiz scores can be reported directly to the D2L Brightspace gradebook when the gradebook integration is configured. Video completion percentage can also be passed as a grade item, giving instructors a way to assign and record credit for watching a recording. Both quiz score reporting and video completion grade passback require specific configuration steps in Brightspace. The relevant setup guides for LTI 1.3 and LTI 1.1 environments are linked in the support documentation on this page. How are permissions managed between Panopto and D2L Brightspace?Panopto inherits D2L Brightspace course roles automatically through the LTI integration, so access to video content is controlled by the roles already assigned in Brightspace—instructor, student, teaching assistant, and others as configured. Administrators manage permissions centrally through Brightspace rather than configuring access separately in Panopto. When a user’s role changes in Brightspace—for example, when a student completes a course or a teaching assistant is removed—their Panopto access updates accordingly. User provisioning and deprovisioning are handled through the same identity workflows as the rest of the Brightspace environment. ## Category Collaboration tools
