A new feature has been added "Enable automatic device matching for remote recorders" - as part of this we get a notification sent out whenever this happens.

We use our lectern PCs as remote recorders, so staff can connect webcams etc to the PC. Each time they do this, we get this notification. As such most of the notifications are not useful to us and we wish to disable them. There is no feature to do this without disabling all remote recorder notifications, some of which are useful. Please add the ability to disable these notifications.

Currently, in Panopto recorder administrator permissions have to be assigned by searching for and adding each recorder one by one. For organisations that have 300+ recorders this is very time-consuming. Ideally, there would be a way to grant access to all recorders for staff responsible for recorder configuration and maintenance. Currently, this functionality isn't available but it would save a lot of time and changes to the recorder administrator, allowing site-wide permissions to be assigned for all of them, would also make it easier for when new recorders are added.

When displaying a Panopto Video in MS Teams via the Panopto App, currently the attendees need to start the video themselves and can move forward and backward in the video. Can there be a setting where the Panopto becomes more of a live video that attendees can not control and control is only with the Presenter? The idea being that attendees feel like they are in a live broadcast.

I thought I had requested this feature before, but I cannot find it. So I am starting again.

It would be great if we had a 'Caption Editor' role.

The role could then be assigned to trusted users (mainly students) on certain folders or videos that would only allow them to edit the automatically generated captions to a video.

This would be a quick and easy way to increase the accuracy of the automated captions, without the worry of giving full edit rights to content.

I manually create scheduled recordings on my remote recorders (Epiphan Pearl 2's) for the semester. When I do so, I become the owner of videos.

Where there has become a problem is when faculty decide to restrict access to insure attendance to classes. Consequently, I get a request from a student who wants to access a video. The only way I have found to change this is to individually edit each recording and change ownership to the faculty for that particular course. This can be a long process.

This particularly became an issue after the Northeast snow storm this past weekend that caused cancellation of classes when faculty wanted to use videos from a prior semester, so shared that link, not realizing even with access for students, that folder is restricted to just that semester's course list. I was inundated yesterday with email requests for access to videos from courses with 200 - 300 students. I did inform the faculty about copying the video over to the current semester for access, but the link had already gone out to students, so the requests kept on pouring in yesterday to my email.

I would really like a way to assign ownership to the creator team rather than to the person who created the scheduled recording. I looked into the Panopto Scheduling Tool, but there is no way to change ownership with that. So that's why I'm asking to have this ability, for my own sanity if not for others who run into the same problems.

Thanks,

Elaine

When sections of a video are cut out of playback, it is difficult to quickly see which captions are also hidden from playback. It would be helpful for a some visual indicator to be added to the captions to show that they will be excluded from playback. This would speed up the captioning editing process significantly. Bonus: if a caption line is begins in a section that has been cut from playback but the text ends in a spot that would be played back, that this would be visually indicated in the caption line as well.

Since we implemented our auto-archive policy after 2 years of not being viewed (a great feature!), a couple faculty said they were frustrated that they didn't get notifications about the move to archive—which takes 2-3 days before the videos can be recovered. While system admin get the notifications, it would clearly help our users to get that notification, too, so they can prevent their media from being moved to the archive—if that's important to them.

Thanks!

Had a faculty member reach out: Is there a way to prevent students from downloading the captions transcript file in a Panopto video? currently teaching a summer class, and one of the students let them know that others are downloading the transcript file and then uploading it to ChatGPT, so they'd like to prevent them from being able to download the file if possible."

As more AI ins found around campuses, allowing creators to control what downloads the vieweres have access to on a more modular level can hep creators. At the moment, there is an all or nothing site-wide option on such settings.

Please add a Multifactor Authentication setting for Panopto accounts

When I'm going over material I've previously recorded, sometimes I want to clarify or supplement what's in the video with my own clip as an annotation. The process now is to go back to a previous tab where I can access "+ Create" and record myself and the screen via Panopto Capture in the browser. However, I think it would be really helpful if one could just record a new clip straight from the editor using "Add Clip", having a recording feature available there so I could insert it straight to the timeline right there where I want it in the editor instead of having to back track to "Panopto Capture", record the clip, and then insert it from where I saved it. Might there be a way to implement a solution like this?
