Copying Videos from Older Courses
Canvas instructors can copy video content from an older course to a new course using either Panopto Course Copy or batch copying of select videos manually. Please reference the flow chart below for help on deciding which option is right for you.
Panopto Course Copy
Beginning Summer 2025, Panopto Course Copy will automatically copy your content when using Canvas Course Copy for the full course. Please review your Panopto course materials after the Canvas Course Copy to ensure that all transferred video content is FERPA compliant!
Batch Copy
If you only need a few videos or you are not doing a copy of a previous course, the recommended path is to batch copy videos.
1. Open the original course from which you want to copy videos, and go to the Panopto Video section
2. Click the Arrow icon on the top right to Open in Panopto. This will open the course in the Panopto portal from which you can perform batch copies.
3. Click the checkboxes to the left of the videos that you want to copy. You can select multiple on the same page.
4. Click the Copy icon at the top of the screen
5. Search for the name of your new course's Panopto folder and select it.
6. Click Copy
