Lock Students into Assignments Folder for Current Course (Eliminate Folder Selector)

[Panopto LTI for Canvas] Currently when an instructor has created an assignment folder for a course, and invited students to record/upload with Panopto, the workflow includes a folder selector. Thankfully, it defaults to the assignment folder for the current course (if there is one), but ideally there should be no folder selector in this workflow.
It is possible that a student might accidentally choose a different folder.
Students should not be able to record a video into one course folder from inside a different course.
This is especially problematic because assignment folders do not close automatically, so students sometimes continually record videos into past assignment folders (I don't know why they do this, but I just want to be able to stop them).
I have found some related ideas, but not sure if they're saying exactly the same thing: Check User Enrollment when they click LMS Embed button and Support Canvas "Homework Submission" LTI 1.3 placement
Comments
Hey Mary!
I love this feedback — thank you! I've filed this with our team, and they'll review it in the near future.
If anyone else would like to share their own experiences as they pertain to this request, that will help a lot in our team's understanding of everyone's unique situations.
Yeah, that would be essentially what I requested (below). That the process should be very guided and it should be very clear what is happening, where things are stored, and how to change settings to adjust the experience/needs. I left some comments at the time about why what we have doesn't really work. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Back in 2019/2020 when they first showed Panopto Capture, I told Eric they should make a way to create an assignment which created automatically specifies the destination folder as part of the assignment.
