Graduate Assistant to Director of Recruitment and Admissions Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/6/2020 "Effective Tool for Online & Remote Teaching" 5/5 What do you like best about Panopto? Currently, I teach introductory level college courses. So when our university went remote for the semester, I needed something to help me record my lectures. Panopto has allowed me to do that. Personally, I find the program rather easy to use. I have it downloaded onto my desktop, so when I am ready to record my lectures all I have to do is open the program. I also appreciate the ability to edit your content in the program, and that you don't have to export your recordings to a seperate application. This makes it easy for me to provide my students with a recorded lecture (since we are not meeting face to face). Panopto also allows you to outline your lectures students can easily navigate the content. So far, I've heard good feedback from them as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Panopto? The editor is a little clunky in my opinion, where it can be sometimes difficult to cut or trim your video. That being said, I just give myself a little extra time before a start my lecture and after I end it (to make cropping the video easier). Other than that, the only problem I've run into is thinking I've hit record when I have not. That is rather frustrating, but I would not put that error on Panopto. Just be sure to double check you hit record before you start speaking! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Panopto solving and how is that benefiting you? Panopto has allowed me to provide my students with lectures which is more interactive. Since COVID-19, it's been hard to interact with students the way you would in a classroom, especially while teaching remotely. Not all students can login to class synchronously, given that everyone lives in different timezones and areas. So this software lets me record my lectures to make them more accessible.

AR Aishwarya R. Graduate Teaching Assistant Computer Software Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/3/2020 "Practical Streaming Platform" 5/5 What do you like best about Panopto? Panopto is a very simple but functionally great software for recording Live streams. It gives seamless integration with any Learning Management system or Classroom Management System, thus making it very easy to integrate without any hassle. I really like the mode where we can switch between slides/video. This is ideal when at times you want to concentrate on the slides being displayed while other times you want to focus on the recording. Also, we can quickly access the portion of the video by choosing the slide, that comes handy when you want to refer back. The best part is text search in an uploaded session, It's a quick search engine to lookup any word mentioned in a whole session! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Panopto? I would have liked a slightly better interface. The UI looks very basic. It seems ideal only when integrated with a Learning management system that is currently being used at an organization. I would expect the platform to come up with a feed or an interface to browse public videos, create playlists, and make a portfolio of what you have been watching. I would also prefer support for multiple screencast so that the video can be viewed on one screen while viewing the related material on the other. It would be great if we can annotate on a personal copy of uploaded course material/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Panopto: Panopto is a great tool not only to share Live stream, but also to organise a whole lecture with supporting class materials. Panopto is really helpful while preparing for tests or while completing assignments as we can quickly search through the automatic transcriptions or the content in slides. Although the UI looks slightly unappealing, functionally Panopto is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Panopto solving and how is that benefiting you? Panopto has been a real lifesaver for organising a live stream of class lecture for future use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Associate Professor Of Mathematics Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/12/2020 "Panopto Review" 4/5 What do you like best about Panopto? I love being able to use multiple video cameras and also share my screen. This gives me a lot of options to generate quiz questions, and I then I can integrate quizzes into my university's LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Panopto? Editing short portions of videos out (mistakes) is not intuitive to me in the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Panopto: It's great for getting videos delivered to students. Give it a try so students can go back and "not miss anything" that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Panopto solving and how is that benefiting you? Panopto allows me to prerecord lecture snippets and demonstrate routines on the white board as well as the computer. I don't have to wonder if students heard me when I said something, because they can just go back and watch it again. It also allows me to "take attendance" by integrating simple quizzes, so students can show me they actually watched the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a better speed up stream mechanism - it is limited by .25 increments, so most of us have downloaded an extension.

What do you dislike about Panopto? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Panopto 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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Panopto 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.
