Adding a Panopto LTI Provider
As of April 2021, Panopto has identified a bug in their LTI Provider that, when used as a Learning Event Resource, results in the creation of an extra empty folder per LTI Resource. These instructions provide a workaround for Panopto users until the bug is resolved by Panopto.
Unfortunately, this does result in the viewer being directed to a folder that appears to have nothing in it before being directed to the recording; we are hopeful that Panopto will resolve the bug soon.
In Panopto:
Create a folder called "Elentra Folder Storage" or something similar in which the empty resource-specific folders will be created.
In Elentra:
Navigate to Admin > System Settings > [select the appropriate organisation] > LTI Providers.
Click Add New Provider.
LTI Provider Title: enter an appropriate title; e.g., Panopto LTI.
Launch URL: https://.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/BasicLTI/BasicLTILanding.aspx
LTI Key: enter Elentra.
LTI Shared Secret: paste the Shared Secret provided by your Elentra Identify Provider in Panopto.
Available To: If you have more than one organisation in your installation of Elentra, select the organisations that this provider should be available to from the dropdown menu.
Launch Presentation Width: enter 1000. This can be adjusted as desired.
Launch Presentation Height: enter 800. This can be adjusted as desired.
Launch CSS URL: leave blank.
LTI Additional Parameters: custom_parent_folder_id=[enter the folder id of your Elentra Folder Storage folder by clicking on the folder in Panopto, then copying the section of the URL after folderID=]
Optionally, if you want to name the empty folder when it is created after the course, you can add a semicolon after the folder ID and then: context_title=%CCODE%-%CNAME%
LTI Category: none.
LTI Provider Type: none.
