Panopto has the ability to categorize videos into two levels – stored and archived.  Stored videos: Videos that are actively being used/played and are available right away. Think of this as a "refrigerator".  Archived videos: Videos that are not actively available but can be restored from the archive and played within 24-48 hours. Think of this as a "freezer".  Deleted videos: Videos that are moved out of archive and deleted. Think of this as "freezer burnt/expired items going into trash" To learn more please watch the Workshop video about the archive process (15 mins): The following retention policy has been in place since September 1, 2022:  Videos that have not been viewed within a 18-month window will be moved into the archive (i.e., freezer) at the end of each semester. Videos that have been sitting in archive for more than two years will be deleted on a yearly basis. Please find below the approximate dates for when the 18 month archive retention action will occur: At the end of the Fall 2024 semester on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 At the end of the Spring 2025 semester on Thursday, May 15, 2025 At the end of the Summer 2025 semester on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 Note: After they are moved to the archive, they will be available to view if needed after a 24-48 hour "thaw". After archiving, these videos can be reactivated, downloaded to an external storage device of choice, or deleted. Please find below the approximate dates for the 2 year delete action will occur: After 2 years (for this initial round – August 1, 2025), if they remain in archive and have not been viewed in 2 years, they will be deleted. Effective August 1, 2025, all videos that have been sitting in archive for more than 2 years (ie. archived 2 or 3 years ago) will be permanently removed from Panopto.

With this update, you will no longer have to click on “Launch Panopto” to access Panopto, as videos will now appear within Bridges itself. The new layout is designed to make it easier for you to find and view your Panopto recordings directly from your Bridges course page. You can access all your recordings in one place, without the need for added clicks or page loads. This new feature is intended to save you time and streamline your learning experience. We are confident that this update will enhance your experience with Sakai and Panopto, and we hope you enjoy the new layout. During the downtime, when you access the link from Bridges to your Panopto site, you will end up at the maintenance page. For further assistance, please email id@rwu.edu

Click on Subtitle in the toolbar then Enable Sub Track. You can see this in the VLC program, by: Downloading a Podcast with a session that has Closed Captions. Open with VLC media player. Click on Subtitle in the toolbar and Enable Sub Track. Windows Media Player does not have this feature available, so it is not compatible with Panopto's caption files.
