Notify/Alert Creators or Owners for Content Retentions
Ideally, session owners and department admins will get automated e-mails that list all their sessions that are scheduled to be archived and/or deleted via the content retention policies. The e-mail should include instructions on how to change the retention policy on their individual sessions (and folders) to prevent the automatic action if the owner wants to protect the session(s). The time interval the e-mail is sent out prior to the archive/deletion date should be adjustable by administrators.
Include a quiz score in the downloaded report
The downloaded report shows the total # of questions and how many were answered correctly but it doesn't show a score percentage like the one shown when you look at the Quiz Results tab of a session. Including the score in a downloaded report may be helpful for some instructors.
Knowledge Insights Feature Request
While testing the Session Insights tab in Knowledge Insights I thought of some things that may be helpful for us to know about each session.
- Is the session viewable or not available to viewers?
- Is it a Reference or full copy?
- Is there a quiz? if there is display the results w/score.
- Is the session Archived?
- Is it in the Recycle bin?
Also, it would be great to have an option to sort by sessions that have a quiz.
Ability to stop slides from displaying at a certain point in timeline
Much like we can "turn off" the screen capture stream, I'd like the ability to turn off slides at some point so it only shows the screen capture, or no secondary stream at all.
If you turn off the secondary screen stream, the most recent slide is displayed. I'd like the ability to make that go away at some point in the timeline so only the primary stream is shown.
Filter the library by videos that have quizzes added to them
As part of research into the application of interactive elements in video, the question arose within this university to be able to filter in Panopto for videos to which quizzes have been added. Currently, this does not seem to be possible.
Ability to download multiple streams
At present, you can only download the primary or secondary stream for podcasts. It would be great to have the ability to download other secondary streams - for instance, if 4 sources were recorded, you should be able to download the individual sources for use elsewhere (such as an edit system to create a switched version of the class video for another use.) You have all the source material, please let us access them - in fact, I'd prefer to do it without having to download through the podcast, and just download the streams directly as an Admin.
Thanks,
Elaine
Link availability date to LMS assignments
Whenever an assignment is created in an LMS and a Panopto video is linked to it, the Panopto video doesn't follow the availability date of the assignment. This means that the video becomes available immediately in the LTI tool while the assignment is not.
If the video contains information about the assignment, students suddenly have access to that information too early.
There is a workaround, but it's extra work for teaching staff.
Zoom in on video stream/image
We want our students to be able to zoom in on a video stream. If it is not possible to zoom in on one area of the video while it is playing, at least allow a pause and zoom in on the still image.
This is especially needed for anyone watching on a small screen like a phone but it would benefit users on all platforms and devices. Currently, if a student needs to zoom in on an image, they have to take a screenshot and use third-party software to zoom in.
This change would help improve accessibility for anyone with a visual impairment. It also helps some neurodivergent students because it allows them to focus on the most important part of the video without other distractions.
In the Panopto Editor, requesting feature to move audio to align with action on a clip or stream.
In the Panopto Editor, requesting feature to move audio to align with action on a clip or stream in a session. The current workaround is to move the secondary clip -0.5 seconds forward or backward or re-record the audio.
Allow Speed Control when "disable forward seeking and VSP" is set.
One feature that was brought up during a meeting that many faculty agreed that would be nice is when setting "disable forward seeking and VSP" to still allow the ability to watch up to 2x speed if some wants to select a faster speed.
