The annual archive of Panopto lecture capture content has been scheduled for 3 September. Live content created on or before 31 August 2024 will be moved into the Panopto archive. Last year’s archive, containing content created on or before 31 August 2023, will be permanently deleted on 31 August 2024.
Why do we need to archive?
The University introduced automatic archiving due to a change in Panopto licencing, which required a reduction in the content stored.
Live content created on or before 31 August 2024 will be automatically moved into the archive overnight. Content created between 1 September and 3 September 2024 will remain live and not be archived.
Sessions with reference copies or that have been used as a clip in another session won’t be archived automatically. We recommend you archive these manually.
Sessions can be retrieved from the archive for up to one year before being permanently deleted.

Restore a recording from the archive
