Panopto observes that this issue no longer occurs after a minor Chrome update (unannounced by Google). Panopto continues to work with Blackboard to prepare for a time when Chrome reapplies the same cookie handling change that caused this issue. We will post additional information in this forum as we go.

Panopto confirmed that Chrome reverted the new behavior which caused this issue by version 91.0.4472.101.
Its release notification is here: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2021/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html
And the bug fixed by this release is here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1215167
Note that the Chrome team reverted this on a temporary basis because they think this is the desired behavior. They still plan to re-enable this in the undetermined future. Panopto continues to work with Blackboard to find a solution that may work even if Chrome team reenables this feature without any adjustment.
