Adding and Using Panopto in Microsoft Teams

Install Microsoft Teams

If you haven’t already, download and install Microsoft Teams on your desktop.

Add Panopto

  1. In Teams, click Apps from the app bar.
  2. In the search box (top left), type Panopto (case-insensitive).
  3. Click Add next to the Panopto app.
  4. In the confirmation dialog, click Add again.
  5. Click Open to establish the connection.

Pin Panopto for Quick Access

  • Right-click the Panopto icon in the app bar.
  • Select Pin to keep it easily accessible.

Sign in to Panopto

  1. Click Sign in and authenticate through Discovery.
  2. Enter your NU credentials in the floating login window.
  3. Click Log in, then close the floating window.

Note: Once signed in, Panopto will appears as connected, with the Home and Settings tab at the top and a Sign out button in the upper-right corner.

Optional: Configure Automatic Transfer & Folder Mapping

If you wish to automatically transfer and organize meeting recordings into specific course folders, follow the steps below.

Depending on the number and length of queued recordings, the transfer may take several minutes to a few hours to complete.

I. Configure Automatic Transfer

  1. In the Panopto app, go to the Settings tab.
  2. Click Authenticate to link your Panopto and Teams accounts.
  3. Your Teams groups will appear on the left panel.

Important: Do no pause Personal Meetings import--this enables Panopto to transfer meetings scheduled directly from your Teams calendar (not within a Teams channel).

Tip: To import recordings from a teams' public channel, select and authenticate that specific team.

II. Change the Destination Folder

  • By default, personal meeting recordings without specific folder mapping are saved in the Meeting Recordings folder inside My Folder. 
  • To change the destination, click Edit, use the dropdown menu to select the appropriate course folder, then click Save.

Note: If you teach multiple courses, either manually move recordings to the correct folders or use Meeting-Folder Mappings to automate the process.

III. Set Up Folder Mapping

  1. Click + Add New Mapping.
  2. Enter a recognizable name (e.g., course title). 
  3. You may use wildcards (*) to define flexible matching.
    • PSYC* maps meetings starting with “PSYC”
    • *PSYC maps meetings ending with “PSYC”.
    • Meeting names are not case sensitive. 
    • Use wildcards around keywords for more flexible matching.
  4. Select or type the destination course folder, then click Add.
  5. Repeat to create additional mappings.
  6. When scheduling a meeting, include the mapped keyword in the meeting title so Panopto knows where to route the recording.
  7. To remove a mapping, click Delete.

After the meeting ends, the recording is saved to your OneDrive for Business. If auto-transfer is enabled, a copy is also sent to the designated Panopto folder based on your configuration.
