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!

This software only works half of the… This software only works half of the time and it's really irratating that i can't watch halft of the previus lectures because the software crashed or just didnt work in the first place. On top of that it's really slow and the site is often inaccesable.

Whatever 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.

Simply amazing and trustworthy Simply amazing and trustworthy. If you look for a screen recorder, do not search any more. You got it.

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.
