We use the workflow that requires the availability set to "never" so the user can then hit the publish button to make the recording available. We would love it if we could choose the default of a newly provisioned folder to "never". At the moment we are having to go into all folder once provisioned and set this manually.

I think others would also benefit from being able to change from the "immediate" default.

It being this time of year where we roll over all our modules I wondered if this had been considered a full 2 years later?

Some faculty are requesting a text-to-speech feature which would allow a transcript to be uploaded, changed to speech and then be added to a video.

Hi

I’d like to know is there is any possibility to have a specific thumbnail, by default, for every video uploaded or programmed to a specific folder?

Use case: one of my colleagues is programming every month all the recordings for our amphitheatres and has to manually add a thumbnail image for each recording. Having a default thumbnail for a given folder would be quite useful and save time.

Thanks, and take care

Being able to add a title, either spliced inline or overlaid would be cool. Especially if it also populated the contents. Particularly useful for content without slides.

We would like the ability to add transitions (fades, dissolves, wipes) to videos.

When I upload a PDF I would love the ability to choose if it is the primary or secondary stream. Currently it creates it as the primary and you cannot change it- which means it is on the 'big screen.' Rather I would like the PDF to be presented in the upper left corner. However, I want to retain the ability to download the PDF from the Panopto video - that feature is great.

Related to this - I would love if the ability to designate the PowerPoint slides as secondary (so they display in the upper left right when you play the video). Currently the PowerPoint slides will play on the 'big screen' - at least with PowerPoint slides, the viewer does have the ability to switch the screens themselves.

So to recap, I am requesting more control on the designation of streams (Primary and secondary). See my attached image.

No product anticipates all user needs or can provide enough control via a few branding options. Most web apps we subscribe to provide some facility for defining custom CSS or JavaScript which greatly increases our ability to mold the interface to suit our needs or correct bugs and problems much quicker than software releases can. I would love to be able to do that in Panopto.

To embed a Panopto video in Sharepoint you must have a site admin change the HTML Field Security and add your Panopto domain to the whitelist. For many reasons this isn't sustainable in large organisation where typically only Site Owners are assigned to manage Sharepoint sites, because making everyone an admin introduces a significant security risk. The steps to enable embedding videos are documented at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/allow-or-restrict-the-ability-to-embed-content-on-sharepoint-pages-e7baf83f-09d0-4bd1-9058-4aa483ee137b?redirectSourcePath=%252fen-us%252farticle%252fAllow-or-disallow-iframes-for-a-site-collection-C0A622C3-5E1B-4EE5-9764-BC8BC63AE8E0 . This setting is set per site and cannot be set globally without running a script across all sites.

There are some 3rd party apps, which we will be looking into, but this could be solved via a Panopto app for Sharepoint to embed videos. Sadly, this app doesn't exist. A feature request has been raised with Panopto Support: FR-2580.

Please upvote this feature request if you would also like to be able to easily be able to embed Panopto videos in Sahrepoint.

I would like to see Panopto add noise cancellation and auto gain control options (high, medium, low, off) to all Panopto recording apps. These tools are standard in conferencing apps like MS Teams, Zoom, Webex, etc, and create a forgiving environment for bad mic placement, which is really helpful for content creation.

I suggest this as my team is tasked w/ training remote faculty to record high quality audio/screen capture lectures. If they record noisy/quiet audio, my team has to fix it in post, costing us time and money through time-intensive audio restoration. I'd rather fix it in pre than post via noise cancellation/auto gain options in Panopto's recording apps.

This came to light while I was recently on a MS Teams call w/ a remote faculty member and I was training her to use Panopto to record lectures. Her audio had significant room noise and her voice was quiet in Panopto, but through teams, the same mic input had clear voice and no background noise. The lightbulb went on for me as to how powerful that same feature set could be in Panopto.

Apple already has this built into their OS, and maybe Windows has something similar that Panopto could tap into.
