Panopto plugin for Moodle

This is the current stable release version of the Panopto plug-in for Moodle. It is recommended that customers update to this version of the block.

This version supports (a) Moodle 4.5, 5.0, 5.1 running with PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and (b) Panopto version 10.6.1 or later.

Below is the list of updates from the previous stable release (2025112600).

🛠️ Bug Fixes

  • Proxy Stability: Resolved an issue preventing successful course provisioning on servers utilizing a proxy.
  • Provisioning Logic: Fixed a bug triggered by the "on block view" provisioning setting.
  • Testing Framework: Corrected an error within the PHPUnit framework to ensure smoother development builds.

What is it?

This is a block for Moodle, that allows courses in Moodle to link directly to Panopto folders, and to display recordings in the sidebar. It also allows for SSO between Moodle and Panopto, and automatically syncs user permissions between both systems.

Credits

The original Panopto plugin was written by Panopto for Moodle 1.9 and earlier. It has since been rewritten for Moodle 2 by Spenser Jones, and subsequently made open-source for collaboration between the open-source community and Panopto.
