We've had a request come to light a time or two and I think the Panopto Recorder (desktop app) would be a potentially great solution.

In short, it would be great if there was an option to have ASR captions be generated live as you're recording and overlay them on the screen(s) being captured as you are recording (with or without the option to Webcast). I would not want these overlayed captions to be burned into the recording but I think the live generated captions could be used for the recording, if sending off for batch captions was not enabled for the folder.

We've got some folks using Zoom for this already, but it would be great if we could utilize Panopto for the better recording quality.

We are trying to build dashboards (with Power BI) detailing Panopto usage. One data point that my leadership asks for is the number of sessions created by individual users during a given time period (semester, year, etc.).

The report Total Sessions Created by User is very light on the details of those sessions, merely reporting the number of sessions and minutes created, not the names, folders, and start times of those sessions.

The Sessions Created and Edited report shows good details on sessions newly created during a time period but also reports on older sessions that were edited during the time period. It also shows sessions that were recorded (or scheduled) on remote recorders. This combination of data is not helpful. I really want to show separate numbers for different types of recording and uploading. I want to show the different ways recordings are getting onto our Panopto site.

So the report I really want would give me details on sessions created by individual users and would not include:

• Sessions scheduled on a remote recorder.
• Sessions imported from Zoom or Teams
• Sessions that were created before a time period, but edited in the time period.

Please note we do not have anyone on staff who works with APIs so it's important that this becomes part of the canned reports. Or better yet, give admins the ability to roll our own reports.

Thanks!

I have a number of instructors who use Panopto's quizzing feature. It is a great feature, but one issue with it is when instructors want to reuse their videos from semester to semester. If they have a student that had to retake the course, and the quiz settings only allow for one attempt, the student will not be able to take the quiz.

This wouldn't be a huge deal if it was just one quiz, but often times there are dozens, or in some cases hundred of videos that have quizzes and need to be cleared. This is very tedious for the instructor to do.

It would be very nice to have a 'Clear all quiz results' in the folder settings to make this process much faster for the instructor.

We are able to upload audio descriptions for a given video using this method, however, there is no facility to request audio descriptions in the same way we can with captioning services, for example, using a service provider such as 3Play.

Currently it is not possible to change the 30 day hold on re-archiving restored videos. This functionality would be useful for our higher ed environment:

Before the beginning of each semester we ask faculty to check, and restore any videos that they might need. This is done to prevent students from trying to access videos that are in an archived state. However if that video is not viewed within 30 days, it is automatically re-archived (this was confirmed by Panopto support). As semesters are longer than 30 days that means that a video that will not be used until later in the semester gets re-archived due to the general retention policy that we make use of (archive after 13 months of zero views).

The ability to change the 30 day configuration is needed to avoid this situation from occurring however is is currently not possible (again, confirmed by Panopto support).

Panopto support have created a feature request for this - FR-6643 - Rule-Specific Criteria for Preventing Archiving in UX when Restoring Content, but also suggested that I created a post in these forums.

The batch scheduler must also be improved pronto. Currently, if you have a file with thousands of classes to schedule, the programs times out. The sonly solution Panopto gives is to break the file in smaller files????

Panopto has to work in creating a solid admin interface that will allow easy batch uploads (1,000s of evetns), batch edits and batch deletes.

How do I up-vote this on behalf of all of my faculty who are not going to come here to make an account to vote?

Hello Panopto and Friends!

I would like to feature request some audio editing tools for the editor. I'm not sure if any of this is on the roadmap or coming with Elai's abilities being built into the core product.

AI noise clean up/adjustable noise clean up - Ability to clean up and remove any unwanted noises in a video, like rustling, microphone moving, static, etc. Recently I had an instructor upload a video to Panopto and there was a lot of noise under him because was sitting on the antenna or cable of the wireless microphone he was wearing. I had to download the video out of Panopto and edit in Camtasia, where they now have an AI noise removal effect that is mind-blowingly amazing in how effective it is. It would be great if this was built into Panopto so we wouldn't have to go into another program to do this.

Audio rubber banding - Ability to add little node points on the audio at different spots so we can fade audio in and out to remove or add it at certain times as necessary. Again, see Camtasia or almost any other non-linear editor on the market.

Thank You!

When in the web player, when you mouse hover the primary source, right now you have two options Full Screen or Switch.

Add a third option, PIP (Picture in Picture). It will work this way:

• Move the primary video to a "selected" corner in PIP mode over the secondary video.
• The corner could be a system wide setting or selected by creator for that video session only.
• To exit the PIP mode, just press Escape as you do for full screen.

We find that some people are unable to use the software Panopto recorder, so they end up using the Panopto web recorder (Panopto Capture) instead. While this generally can work for them, we find students from China in particular struggle to upload recordings successfully. If they were able to use the software recorder we could recover the recording from the local stored files. However the Panopto web recorder we are unable to do so and we have to tell them their content is lost and need to try again.

What we really need is the ability to recover a Panopto web recording in the same way as you can with the software recorder. Perhaps the files can just live in the computers temp folder for a bit or go to their downloads area. They do not even have to be MP4 files, just something that we can rebuild what they have made.
