The Faculty love it - Student use it - that is very IMPORTANT !
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto Allows faculty to record from and easily combine different video and audio sources. Rendering, editing is simple and storage is plentiful. Panopto being a cloud service uptime is important and when they do have maintenance windows they give advance notice and communicate effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been Panopto customers for over 5 years and in that time there have been very few issues. There is not much I dislike about it at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use panopto for two main purposes. One, as a lecture recording platform that is used for asynchronous online programs. Second to Webcast and record workshops to include remote audiences in live, synchronous sessions with some local participants and multiple remotes users joining in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an area of tech that can get really complex. For us techies that is fine but remember who the daily users are. The Panopto product is easy to use for both the teachers and the students.. does not require any special configurations or set ups. It also has many flexible features to edit and fine tune the resulting recordings.
Works well and multi-purpose
What do you like best about the product?
I personally use Panopto for creating screen captures in video, such as to demonstrate an issue or behavior for a vendor or quick tutorial for a client.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn’t say I dislike anything about Panopto. There are a couple quirks that are annoying. As an example, from support perspective, permissions for non-administrator roles occasionally change during updates and suddenly our users can’t do something they used to be able to do. This is not unique to Panopto though. Also, I don’t really need a microphone or webcam to make my screen capture videos so I don’t have them hooked up. Because of this, the Panopto recorder app always throws up a warning about 30 seconds into my recording and I have to select “ignore” to make it go away and allow me to proceed. Then I have to edit the recording to cut that part out of my screen capture. There should be a way to configure the app to avoid that message but I haven’t found it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto allows our faculty to record lectures in class so students can review later or catch up if absent from lecture. It also allows online instructors to record lectures or messages for students to watch asynchronously from home and still get “face time” with their instructor. It can be used to create training courses for employees. Record meetings. Existing video files can be uploaded to Panopto and then embedded into our secured LMS to ensure restricted access. Right now we are in the process of offloading and retiring our Flash media server, so we’re assisting FMS content owners with migration to Panopto as a replacement.
Easy editing
What do you like best about the product?
The process for editing is intuitive and quick, from splicing to big edits
What do you dislike about the product?
The formatting of folder pages is not very attractive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recording class lectures has been easy with panopto and editing these lectures for later use, very efficient
great service, but could use some polishing
What do you like best about the product?
For the most part, it is easy to usu and provides a valuable service
What do you dislike about the product?
online use can be glitchy and frustrating, particularly in viewing recorded content. This is frustrating since this is a core element of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto allows us to record lectures and allow students to access them online
Recommendations to others considering the product:
most aspects of the software are easy and intuitive, but some performance issues are unfortunate. When viewing content on OSX it frequently will skip and get stuck in parts of the video.
Great user experience and support!
What do you like best about the product?
the Customer Support is amazing. They attend to every detail and always make sure a positive resolution results from any contact with them. I mention it just because excellent customer support doesn't seem to be the norm these days, and Panopto is the best.
The functionality is probably the most obvious advantage that this software has over others; they continuously integrate their customer feedback into their updates. I have seen other similar software offerings "rest on their laurels" once they gained some momentum, but Panopto is always working to stay on the leading edge while offering an incredibly stable platform.!

What do you dislike about the product?
everything is great, the only thing i would add is a couple of features in the editor.!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a video with the Panopto software is straight forward, we also have the option to upload a video file to the service. Watching a video is even easier, because all that is needed is an up-to-date web browser. No extra plugins or downloads are needed.!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it enables to create and upload any type of content, post comments for videos, record sessions with multiple simultaneous cameras, multiple video sharing levels, access controls, etc.!
I highly recommend it!

What do you dislike about the product?
Captions are always a problem for us we would like to caption all our videos and currently the automatic captioning is not very good. You can send away for captions but there is a high cost if we want lots of content captioned. We would like integration with our VLE gradebook to allow seamless submission and grading for students.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto is great for one to many delivery for lectures as well as short video introductions, assignment briefs and other information for students. It is less appropriate as a conferencing tool which many of our staff are looking for so that students can interact live with the presenter. Students can ask questions but it is hard to manage this if you are live streaming and presenting information. Panopto is available to use by the whole organisation and there are more and more staff who are taking up the opportunity to use it for recording lectures and short videos for students. We often have quite dispersed student groups over different campuses and out most watched videos are often of assignment information and difficult teaching concepts that they need to come back to for clarity.
Excellent user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent user experience and support. Colleagues I introduce to the system are very pleased to discover how easy it is to create their own content with Panopto's personal capture tools. Panopto is integrated into our VLE, and used thoughout our institution. The learning resource it provides and enhancement to our student's experience is invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't any any serious dislikes using the desktop software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's used for educational purposes and the ability to review and study material is the benefit.
Panopto is transforming teaching and learning
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to record, edit and share easily ... from anywhere and for everyone
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of captioning makes full accessibility prohibitively expensive - not a panopto issue, but an industry one
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to engage students in learning, widening participation by increasing flexible learning opportunities
Panopto makes learning easier
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can control the speed of the recorded lecture you're watching. It lets you customize how you learn by choosing the pace at which you learn and having the opportunity to go back to review important parts of lecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sound is way too low and it can be difficult to hear the videos/
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto provides access to education for students anywhere. You can learn from the comfort of your own home.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely recommend using Panopto! It improves the quality learning and teaching and significantly improves access.
Panopto: The Reason Why I Never, Ever Went to Class in Person
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto provides reliable, high-quality recordings of my med school lectures that allow me to get an in-class experience without actually having to be in class. You can also speed up or slow down the audiovisual feed without loss of quality.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can only see one camera view on the big screen at the time; as far as I know there's no way to split the screen between the lecture projection and the video feed showing the professor/whiteboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Panopto allows me to be more efficient with my time since I can watch lectures at double speed in half the time it would have taken in person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid to use it! My grades have actually improved once I stopped attending lecture and started using Panopto instead.
