The Fall 2020 course volition have it's own Panopto folder, which will be empty. But the students in Fall 2020 will have viewing rights to the videos in Fall 2019.

If you don't recycle videos (some classes simply capture lectures) and so this is less of an issue. If you're non certain what's going on with course copy or need help, contact panopto@jhu.edu.
