Re: How do I revoke ViewerWithLink access using the API?
Hello Jonathan,
I will file an internal work item for supporting RevokeUsersViewerAccessFromSession with a ViewerWithLink access role. Currently this is not supported by any of the SOAP API endpoints. Neither can you differentiate the two roles returned by GetSessionAccessDetails unless an exception is thrown by ViewerWithLink while revoking the permission.
Also, please could you specify the error you get while using RevokeUsersAccessFromFolder?
Best,
Aish
Re: Panopto's sample upload code seems to be broken.
Is there any plan for Panopto to modify your service to actually accept the checksum headers? They sound like a good idea to ensure the validity of the upload.
Re: GUID of remote recorder
The Remote Recorder's Public ID is a GUID that gets assigned at the time of installation (i.e. when the installer runs). It happens to be the GUID returned by the API call which registers the remote recorder: (The RR is only registered once at the time of installation.)
If you uninstall and then reinstall Remote Recorder, the ID value will be different.
The value of the GUID is not related to the entropy of your IP address. It is derived from a standard random GUID generator.

Re: Ensuring the app accurately reflects the user's authentication status
@Elizabeth Fellendorf From what I was told, the only near term solution is either to have users log out/back in or run a script to delete some stuff in the user profile. For the latter, my understanding is that they are working on something, but it's not ready yet. My ticket number is 00977785 in case it is helpful. For the former, we've got this guidance out for our campus and it's been super helpful:
Re: Emails to Owners and Dept Admins for Scheduled Archive & Deletion; Allow them to Request Exceptions
We've implemented an archive policy recently and are now looking at possible options for deletion. We will only be deleting content that has been archived. It would be fantastic and much smoother for all involved if staff were able to easily flag if they wish a recording to be excluded from a deletion policy.
I would envisage a button displayed for each archived recording similar to the publish button for on-demand recordings. Labelled something like "Retain". Setting this option would ensure archived recordings were not processed by delete policies even if they matched all other criteria.
Having an email to creators stating that a recording is due for deletion would allow them time to check and apply retain flags where needed.
This would require that an audit process was re-run prior to the deletion task to make sure that any changes to retain status were included in the retention run. This second audit process could likely be a smaller task which just re-checks all archived recordings scheduled for deletion and whether there has been a change to the retain flag.
Re: Panopto is implementing Overlays, Hotspots, and Branching and we'd love your input!
I know this is several months after the fact, but I'm very interested and hoping to use this type of Quiz item very soon. If there were any updates, I'd be grateful, and otherwise, I'd be happy to contribute.
Re: Session Copy - Allowed API Client Types
Thank you for the information, which led me to look at it from another perspective and I found the issue.
It was the '/Panopto' part of the uri was getting stripped out when using the c# http client factory to build the request. Once I moved that part out of the base uri and into the request path, it works.
Appreciate your quick response.
Re: APIs for specific data
Hello Neil,
Currently out of the 4 you mentioned, getting "Session ID for sessions with captions" is possible using REST APIs
You may queue sessions using a GET call to/api/v1/sessions/{id}
Then filter the results using the CaptionDownloadUrl parameter. The sessions that have captions have this parameter set on them.
If you are open to using SOAP, you may refer to this post for getting "Session ID by remote recorder" : https://community.panopto.com/discussion/201/use-api-to-determine-if-a-session-was-recorded-on-a-remote-recorder-2019-11-14
Hope this helps.

Re: API - Identify Reference Copy
Not exactly what I was asking. We need to identify the correct copy to apply captions to, if the file is a reference copy. Does not look like Panopto support providing that information, which is unfortunate.
