"Panopto can solve a lot of problems!"

What do you like best about Panopto?

Many companies generate hundreds of hours of important video content every month, and while storage is cheap, search and retrieval of video content is next to impossible without a library management system like Panopto. Being able to search for a video by the words spoken in the video or displayed in a PowerPoint or even user notes puts Panopto on top for my company.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

Panopto offers many integration options with both hardware and software, but for the workflow I support, having Meet integration would transform it from a valuable tool into an indispensable one. From setup to capture to playback, it's got everything my company could want but support for s tool we use thousands of times a month.

What problems is Panopto solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, Panopto is where we record and store important meetings, training/documentation. We even have a QA team that uses Panopto to capture errors 'live' and then send the error with notes to the developer teams. We will be moving to use Panopto to stream soon as well!

"Great for Academic Live Training"

What do you like best about Panopto?

When teaching a course live, it records multiple camera angles as well as PowerPoint. Additionally, during replay students can choose which slide they want and go straight to it.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

Everything has to stay in panopto unless I export the video, but then the video loses everything special to panopto. I might as well as have done my video in zoom at that point.

What problems is Panopto solving and how is that benefiting you?

We record our classes with a variety of cameras and the use of powerpoint. Panopto allowed us to capture the entire experience and then upload the videos where students could easily access them.

"Make training videos and searchable videos with PANOPTO"

The program allows for many camera views and audio feeds in the same presentation but can be limited in how to arrange them and in what order they appear in your final cut.

Panopto is great but can be expensive.

We are using Panopto to record and store all of our training material for new employees. The vast amount of information that needs to be covered can be stored and viewed in a very structured and secure way.
