We’re recently had a few calls regarding students and staff not having permission to see videos that are listed within the ‘Recorded Lectures’ tab on Blackboard. Often this is a cookies issue.

Firstly you should check to see if it is a cookies issue you are seeing.

Open the page http://coursecast.soton.ac.uk/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.aspx

Click on Sign In in the top right corner

panoptologin

Ensure that the menu that appears is set to “Sign in using Blackboard” and press Sign in

Log into Blackboard with your standard University username and password (note, if you are already logged into Blackboard you will not be asked for your username and password again)

You will then be redirected back to the website you were previously viewing.

If the top right corner still says Sign In then you have a cookies problem and should continue following the instructions below. If you can see your name then you are correctly logged in and the issue is that you do not have permission to view the video in question. Ask your tutor if you should have permission to see the video or contact ServiceLine.
