GBOver 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.

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.

GBRobust 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.

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.
