Merge Multiple Panopto Videos

Multiple videos can be merged into one video file. For example, 3 students working on a group presentation can merge individually recorded videos into one video presentation.
 (Note: When merging, the older video created first will appear first in the video after the merge. Only original versions of videos can be merged – ie: a copy cannot be merged. Allow ample time for merging to process.)
