Introduction
Recordings are shared automatically with other staff and students enrolled on a Moodle space if they are saved in the Moodle-linked folder. However, there may be some exceptional circumstances in which you may need to share a recording with another individual user.
Examples of needing to share permissions include:
- You need another user to review a draft recording before moving it to a Moodle-linked folder.
- You need to add a student with a Disability Action Plan to view an otherwise restricted recording.
Share an individual recording(s) for a user to view (not edit)
- Navigate to the folder in which the recordings are saved.
- Either hover over the thumbnail image of a recording and click the Share icon to share a single recording.

- Or to share multiple recordings, tick the checkbox in the top left-hand corner of each recording you wish to share. Then click the Share icon.


- Either type a message and click Send to notify them via email.
- Or untick Send email and then Save.

Further guidance can be found on Panopto’s help pages.
Share a folder for a user to edit recordings in the folder
