This tutorial is intended for when you want to share sessions with people outside of the context of a module delivered by Blackboard.
If you want to record sessions for your modules, you’ll need to provision the Blackboard course in Panopto instead.
You can amend the sharing settings to release the session more widely. Options are to share with:
- Specific people
- Named people, either people within Aston or external email addresses, have access to view
- Anyone at your organisation with the link
- The session will not be listed on replay.aston.ac.uk, but will be available to anyone who has the link (eg via an email) after they have logged in using their Aston username & password
- Anyone at your organisation
- The session will be listed on replay.aston.ac.uk for anyone to find and view, once they have logged in using their Aston username & password
- Anyone with the link
- Anyone who has the link, eg via an email, will be able to view the session
- Public on the web
- The session will be listed on replay.aston.ac.uk, for anyone to view
