5 years of frustratingly bad Panopto recordings I have studied at Aarhus University for 5 years which uses Panopto and for all 5 years at least 1/3 of the recordings were ruined by the camera focusing on the corner of the room, the sound not working, the recording cutting out or the powerpoint show going black. It has been an extremely frustrating experience!

Over nine years we have gone from a… Over nine years we have gone from a couple of technically leading academics promoting its use to a large scale rollout with half the University asking staff to use it. Almost immediately students asked for it to be mandated. The software is easy to roll out across a large campus due to its software-only focus and the need for just a microphone. Most steps can be automated and the integration with Blackboard (in our case) allows videos to be secured to classes/modules with no additional steps. We currently have over 50,000 videos with increased use year on year. Panopto support is generally excellent, but feature rollout is easier on their cloud platform than when hosting yourself.

Top video capture and streaming service I have worked with Panopto at two institutions now. I would say that they are one of the best, most responsive companies that I have worked with. The product itself is really good to use - both from an admin side and an end-user side. I like it far more than previous software I have tried and staff find it easy to use as well - as a lecture capture system and also for screencasting or capturing short, mobile videos as 'talking heads' or 'in the field'. You can also buy into a 1-click captioning service that produces human-level compliant closed captions for your videos.

If you want easy to use video capture If you want easy to use video capture, I would recommend Panopto. It is very flexible and most people will be up and recording with only a few minutes of training. I haven't found a usb mic or camera device that Panopto doesn't support.

Robust and Easy to Use Video… Robust and Easy to Use Video Capture/Management Panopto gets the job done when it comes to having a way to capture, store, share and manage videos. Their video player works without the need for any additional downloads or plugins. For video uploads, a user can upload a file or use their Panopto Recorder software. Much like social media sites, it is simple to share the video or embed it on another page. Panopto integrates with many Learning Management Systems. This is how we primarily utilize Panopto.
