Reduce Course Quota by Moving Videos/mp4s to Panopto

This article discusses how to reduce the course quota in Blackboard by moving videos/MP4s to Panopto. Doing so will free up room to add more files to the course.

When to Use?

Blackboard is not the place for videos/MP4s as they take up much of your courses size quota. If your course is running low on space but the items in the course's Content Collection are needed and in use, we suggest moving the videos/MP4s to Panopto. Panopto is the video streaming service GVSU has for audio/video content.

Procedure

1. To begin, Upload a Video to Panopto
2. Navigate back to your Blackboard course where the video is located
3. Click the … next to the item and choose to delete the item from Blackboard
4. Use Embed Panopto video to course to add the video from Panopto to your course site.
