    Help, I'm giving a lecture today. What do I do?

    Contact Classroom Services at extension x28980. A classroom tech can assist you at startup. You may be asked what school/program and course the recording will be associated with. There is also a plan for guest lecturers and those without Blackboard Instructor access.

    Where’s my video? I did a recording and can’t find it.

    If you can't find a recording, contact Academic Computing at edtech@utmb.edu for assistance. We will need the date, time, and classroom location along with the name of course you intended to associate the recording with.

    What about my Ensemble Video recordings?

    Ensemble Video recordings have been migrated into a holding area within Panopto. Videos that were embedded or linked on web pages, Blackboard courses and other platforms prior to the migration have been automatically redirected and continue to play for viewers. Contact Academic Computing at edtech@utmb.edu to discuss a departmental collaboration area and to regain access to migrated videos.

    How do I get Panopto into my Blackboard course?

    Academic Computing has taken care of this for you. The Panopto link is located on the left-side course menu of your course.
