Panopto Retention Policies
Panopto Content Retention Process:
On 7/19/24, LUC implemented a content retention process for Panopto video recordings in order to more effectively utilize the Panopto LUC storage allocation.
Video recordings stored in Panopto will be subject to the following archiving and deletion process:
- Video recordings that have not been viewed, edited, or accessed in the last 48 months will be moved to archived storage within Panopto. Archived video recordings are available for retrieval unless they are manually deleted.
- Archived video recordings that have not been viewed or accessed in the last 12 months will be permanently deleted. Deleted video recordings are not recoverable.
- Videos not viewed, accessed or edited are thus retained in the system for 4 years.
The retention process will be run during the summer term. Users with videos marked for archiving or deletion will be notified via email.
NOTE: Users are not notified directly prior to files being archived or deleted.
