Zoom

When a Zoom meeting is recorded to the Zoom cloud, Panopto imports the recording automatically and publishes it to the designated folder in the Panopto library—where it is processed, captioned, and indexed for search. No manual upload is required; the recording moves from Zoom to Panopto as part of the workflow.

Administrators configure folder mapping to control where different types of Zoom recordings are filed in Panopto—by user, team, or LMS course. Once in Panopto, recordings are governed by the same access controls, retention policies, and audit logging that apply to all other content in the library.

Once imported, Zoom recordings are captioned and transcribed automatically, indexed for search at the word level, and organized in the designated Panopto folder. Recordings are set to private by default, with access controlled by the permissions on the folder they’re filed in.

Recordings are no longer subject to Zoom’s storage limits or expiration policies once they are in Panopto. They persist under Panopto’s retention policies for as long as those policies specify, and they are accessible on demand from any device to viewers with appropriate permissions.

Yes. For institutions using Zoom LTI Pro alongside an LMS such as Canvas, Panopto supports folder mapping that routes Zoom recordings from specific courses directly into the corresponding Panopto LMS course folder. This means students can access Zoom class recordings inside the LMS course alongside other course video—without the recording needing to be manually shared or re-uploaded.

Setup documentation for configuring folder mapping with Zoom LTI Pro is linked in the support section on this page. A separate guide covers configuration for institutions using Zoom LTI Pro with multiple Canvas servers.

Panopto’s multi-source video player lets viewers toggle between the available video streams captured in a Zoom recording—speaker video, screen shares, slides, and gallery view—rather than being locked into a single fixed layout. Viewers choose which stream to focus on and switch between them at any point during playback.

Zoom recording import layouts are configurable, so administrators can set how recordings are imported and displayed by default. The support documentation on import layouts is linked on this page.

Yes. Panopto supports webcasting with Zoom, allowing organizations to stream live events to audiences through the Panopto webcasting workflow while using Zoom as part of the production setup. The recording is captured and published to Panopto when the webcast ends.

Setup guidance for webcasting with Zoom and Panopto is linked in the support documentation on this page.

All Zoom recordings imported into Panopto are managed under the same governance framework as the rest of the video library—role-based access controls, SSO authentication, folder-level permissions, and configurable retention policies. Audit logs track viewing at the user level, and viewer analytics show who watched which recordings, for how long, and where they dropped off.

For organizations where Zoom recordings contain sensitive business information, this governance layer provides controls that Zoom’s native sharing tools do not. Viewer tracking and exportable completion data support the documentation requirements that compliance and IT teams need.
