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 We will only be deleting content that has been archived.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.
API - Identify Reference Copy
Is there an API that can identify if a Session is a reference copy, and an API that can return the session details for the original copy of a reference copy session ?
Re: user's permission while using API
Hi Lily,
For Panopto's SOAP API, particularly for methods like GetRecentReports and GetReport within the UsageReporting service, an administrator account is generally required for full access to system-wide reports.
For the second part your flow looks correct, although we can queue report through API, but depending on your needs we have other methods as well.
Let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks,
Adis
Re: Allow Quiz Retake for One Student
I just had an instructor ask if she could limit the number of retakes to a specific number.
Her other suggestion is related:
-If you allow multiple retakes, can they deduct some percentage for a correct answer, if the student doesn't get it on the first try. This avoids rewarding guesses.
Re: Panopto Quizzes Do Not Allow Multiple Attempts without Overwrite
In searching for related issues before writing a new post, I cam across a related question. I thought I should post it here in case others also run into both issues: Allow Quiz Retake
Panopto Quizzes Do Not Allow Multiple Attempts without Overwrite
We are using Panopto videos with embedded quizzes to check student comprehension during the lecture. Students are required to complete the questions, but can watch the video and complete the questions as many times as needed.
Unfortunately, if a student receives 5/5 (for example), and then rewatches the video to study and gets 3/5, the 3/5 overwrites the previous result in Canvas.
Similarly, if a student opens a video to study after the due date, the quiz result is reported back from Panopto with the new date, and thus Canvas marks it late.
I'm also opening this with Canvas support, but their documentation states they are only reporting the number that Panopto pushes over. Thus I think it will need to be addressed by both organizations.
