Part 1: Zoom

1. Login to the CU Zoom website with your CU credentials.

2. Select Meetings, then Schedule a Meeting.


3. Name the meeting after your course. Something short and accurate.

4. Click the Recurring Meeting checkbox.  Under Recurrence, select No Fixed Time.   This makes the meeting available in perpetuity.  No limits.  Use it at-will. 

5. By Meeting ID, select Generate Automatically. (Important)

6. Set Security to your preferences.

7. IF you want the Zoom meeting to automatically record to the cloud – every time you launch it.
    1. Next to Options click Show, click the Automatically record meeting checkbox, and select the In the cloud radio button

8. IF you opt-out of automatic recording…  you can manually click Record whenever you use this Zoom and select cloud (important) and it will work.

9. Click Save. Take note of the Meeting ID – you’ll need this later. 



Part 2: Panopto

1. Login to your CU Panopto account using your CU credentials. 

2. Click the Create button - > New Folder.  Name the folder after your class.  This is where your videos will go.


3. Click on your user settings - > upper right circle with your initials -> User Settings


4. Under Automatic Import, check the box for Zoom and then click Update.


5. At the bottom of the page is a list of your Zoom meetings affiliated with Panopto folders.  If this is your first – no list will be there.  Click Add New at the bottom.


6. Enter the Meeting ID number you noted in Part 1 (above)  + in the drop-down, select the folder you created.  Click Save.


That part is done.  When you use the Zoom meeting created in Part 1, it will automagically record to the folder created in Part 2.  


Part 3: SEHD Canvas (THIS IS JUST FOR THE SEHD VERSION OF CANVAS - SEHD.INSTRUCTURE.COM)


  1. Login to your CU Panopto account using your CU credentials.
  2. Go the folder you want to share and click on the gear icon in the upper right.  
  3. Click on Share.  Because this isn’t integrated with SEHD Canvas, we have to open up the permissions a bit.  Under Who can access this folder change the permissions to Your Organization (unlisted) [@ucdenver.edu email required] or Public (unlisted) [anyone with the link can view].
  4. Click on the Embed button.  Click Copy Embed Code.
  5. Go to your Canvas course, go to Pages, create a new page.  
  6. Click the HTML editor icon in the lower right corner of the editor.  
  7. Paste the embed code from step #4.  
    1. RECOMMEND – change the dimensions so they are larger.  In the embed code change width=”720” to width=”100%”.  Also, change height=”405” to height=”700”.
  8. Click the HTML editor icon again, to return to the normal page.  You should see the Panopto folder from Part 2.  Click Save.
