    Panopto Retention Plan

    Overview

    To ensure efficient use of storage space, Panopto's retention is based on content viewing activity.

    Retention Details

    • Delete Content if Not Viewed in Over 3 Years: Any content that has not been viewed within the last three years will be deleted. To see when a recording was last viewed:
      • Navigate to a course folder in Panopto
      • Click the 3 dots on the video's thumbnail
      • Click "Stats"
      • Navigate to "Views and Downloads by Day"
      • Adjust the time range in the upper right corner to "Any time"
    • Recycle Bin: Deleted content will be moved to the recycle bin, where it will remain for 90 days.
    • Permanent Deletion: After 90 days in the recycle bin, content will be permanently deleted.
    • Custom Archiving: Archived videos will not be deleted, ensuring access to videos that are not frequently used but still needed.

    titleWhy are there restrictions on how long videos can be stored?

    Both Zoom and Panopto have storage quotas. Enforcing retention policies helps ensure storage is shared equitably among users, preventing any single user or department from consuming excessive storage space. This also promotes efficient use of resources, ensuring that important and frequently accessed content remains available while removing outdated and unused videos.
