GBWhatever update has recently occurred… Whatever update has recently occurred has made Panopto a wretched means of watching lectures during live webcast as well as recordings. The audio cuts in and out, rendering viewing useless. This is an issue not only for students trying to return to a lecture for review but especially for students who are sick and cannot attend lecture in person. We have resorted to zoom recording, which is also not ideal because of how our auditorium is set up, but at least allows us to hear what is being taught. I reached out to our school's IT and they said it related to Panopto. When I emailed Panopto, they redirected my complaint to our school's IT department without so much as reading or responding to my concerns. Apparently I have no means of getting this issue resolved.

GBExcellent user experience and support! Panopto video capture system is integrated into our Virtual Learning Environment and used thoughout our institution. It is easy to use, with an intuitive interface. Colleagues I introduce to the personal capture aspect of the system are very pleased to discover how easy it is to create their own content. Panopto has been extremely reliable and provided a fantastic searchable learning resource, greatly enhancing our student experience.

GBTop 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.

GBIf 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.

GBExtremely capable product with an excellent company backing it up! Extremely capable product with an excellent company backing it up. Panopto checked off a ton of boxes for us and more. It's allowed us to easily and professionally live stream events, create and manage all of our instructional content, seamlessly integrate with Canvas (including video quizzes that sync with Canvas grades) and the ability to caption ourselves or hire it out with any number of captioning companies. My only complaint would be they need to improve the process to have students use it to submit video assignments. It's currently a bit too complicated and faculty and students tend to make mistakes in the process. Knowing Panopto though this will be addressed and I look forward to the day they improve that functionality.
