Panopto Content Retention Policy
Content Type | Archived | Permanently Deleted |
|---|---|---|
Zoom Recordings | 1 year after last viewed | 2 years after last viewed |
All Other Videos | 2 years after last viewed | 3 years after last viewed |
Archived videos can be restored at any time prior to their deletion date. Restoring a video can take up to 72 hours, but typically completes within 48 hours.
If you need permanent storage of videos that may not get regular use in the classroom, we recommend downloading the video from Panopto and storing it using Google Drive.
Copyright and Film Streaming on Panopto
Uploading full films from DVDs or other copyrighted sources to Panopto—even when access is limited to your class or available only through Canvas—is not permitted under U.S. copyright law. When you copy or “rip” a DVD and upload it online, it creates a new digital version of the film, which constitutes an unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material.
However, there are several fully legal ways to share films with students:
Show the film in class during an in-person meeting. This is allowed under the Classroom Use Exemption (Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act).
Place the film on reserve through the library, allowing students to view it individually in a controlled setting.
Use a licensed streaming service. NCSSM currently maintains a license to Swank, which provides access to many educational and feature films for classroom use.
Using these options ensures that we respect copyright law while still offering students meaningful and lawful access to film materials.
