Privacy settings

Getting your video's privacy settings right is important.  It is best to choose "unlisted video" for privacy considerations. Always think carefully about your privacy settings, and never release public footage of people without their informed consent.

YouTube (see privacy guide) and Panopto have similar privacy settings, but there are some subtle differences:

Platform Private / Restricted Unlisted Public
YouTube Only you and the users you select can view the video Anyone who has the link to the video can view it Anyone can view the video
Panopto Only specific people and groups you select Anyone at Deakin who has the link to the video can view it Anyone who has the link can view the video

If you want to share your video with the world, contact your Scholarly Services Librarian for advice on online privacy and copyright.
