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.

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,

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.

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 a session.  The current workaround is to move the secondary clip -0.5 seconds forward or backward or re-record the audio.

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.

I was glad to see that Panopto has increased the number of options for Variable-Speed Playback.

However, there is still no option to disable variable-speed playback only (while retaining the ability to go backwards and forwards in a video). Without this option, anyone who begins a video and then wants to resume it later cannot do so; he'd have to restart the video from the beginning. Another option that would allow a similar result would be if the last viewed spot could be recalled when returning to a video (after closing the window/app). However, it seems like it would be much more straightforward to simply include an option to disable variable-speed playback only.

Hello,

I would really like to request an API that allows us to retrieve content from the archive.
This is especially important when we need to include older content in newly created courses.

I’ve noticed that the system calls an endpoint like /Panopto/Api/Sessions/batchRestore... —
is there any chance this API could be opened up for external use?

Having an API to retrieve archived sessions would make things much more convenient for users,
and I believe it would encourage wider use of existing content within Panopto.

I hope this can be made available soon, as the current limitations are quite inconvenient.
We also feel sorry for the inconvenience it causes our clients.

Thank you very much.

I would like for Personal Folders "My Folders" to be a place that is safe from automatic retention policies, but I don't want users to abuse that loophole by moving everything into their My Folder. So it would be good if I could set a maximum capacity (account-wide) for the My Folder

Hi all,

currently it is not possible to upload videos in UHD (2160p) and let viewers watch them in UHD quality. The output is 1080p maximum.

However Panopto Capture offers to record (video and/or slides) in UHD - see also https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Learn-About-Capture-Settings - which does not really make sense, if the output format is limited to 1080p.

Especially for blackboard recordings we would like to allow for UHD recordings and output. I know it is also a question of data volume, but for specific recording scenarios, this would help students.

Best
Felix
