Create Reference Copy: Video reference copies refer back to an original source video but with a completely clean slate of viewer-contributed metadata, such as quiz results, comments, and notes. When its source video is edited, the reference copy will automatically also reflect the same edits. Learn more at Learn about video reference copies.
Method 3 (across semesters): Perform a course copy
When you complete a course copy in Blackboard where the course that is to be copied (the Source Course) contains Panopto recordings, a new Panopto course folder will automatically be created for the target course and will be available to the students (Viewers) and instructors (Creators) enrolled in the new course. This folder will not have any content in it. Also, the source Panopto course folder will be accessible to both the new students and instructors as well as the original user groups. To confirm this, you can check the sharing permissions for the User Groups shared on the folder.
Outcome: You should now be able to share videos on Blackboard.
