Learn About the Zoom Integration
Did you know that meeting recordings from Zoom can be automatically imported into Panopto? Or, that meeting recordings can be mapped to specific folders? This month, join us for a discussion on how Panopto integrates with Zoom. We’ll first talk about how this integration works for meeting hosts as well as how Zoom meetings play back in the Panopto viewer. Then, we’ll show Administrators the settings for connecting and configuring their accounts within Panopto. Lastly, we’ll cover how to control meeting imports as well as how to use the Zoom LTI Pro tool in a learning management system.
