Hi, it would be nice to have a feature that allows you to cut, automatically, dead time out of incoming videos. Assume you run set of studios and get them ready between 3 pm and 5 pm for the session recording to start at 6 pm. The session starts at 6 pm even though recording may have started at 3 pm and the technician simply didn't stop the recording. Additionally there are multiple spans during the recording in which no audio is being apparent. It would be great if all these dead recording spans could automatically be removed. If you have a few thousand recordings a year it becomes a significant cost to do this manually, video by video.

Currently, academics must manually close the video assignment folders when the assignment deadline passes to prevent students from making changes or adding new submissions. This requires academics to be available at the exact deadline time, which can be challenging if they are teaching, in meetings, or otherwise engaged.

I would like to propose introducing a feature that allows academics to schedule the closure of assignment folders in advance. This would enable them to set a specific date and time for the folder to automatically close. This feature would ensure a seamless and consistent process for managing assignment deadlines, reduce administrative burden, and mitigate the risk of students modifying submissions after the deadline.

we want the ability to see the list of the videos a remote recorder has already recorded. This helps our team troubleshoot technology issues and identify patterns.

example: we received a report of remote recorder not getting primary content. now we need to know if the same issue happened to other videos recorded using the same recorder.

It would also be great for us to pull the history as recording reports so we know high & low usage rooms for future upgrade decisions.

Is it possible to write out a report (or export data) on scheduled recordings - would be great if one could filter those by date and remote recorder.

As of now I can't even mark and copy the schedule - only possibility for me is to take a screenshot and send it on to the responsible person.

Thanks for considering!

Request to make Panpoto's Embed video player fully responsive.

The player does not currently resize to fill the screen correctly on smaller or vertical screens: it has a set embedded size and does not adapt to the users screen real estate correctly.

A responsive web player should include:

• It shrinks and adapts various elements to smaller sizes
• The embed player adjusts layout between portrait / landscape orientations (both in video or in an overlay)
• It adopts a touch-friendly control surface on mobile
• It can be sized down to 100 pixels tall for audio only
• The caption display adapts text sizes based on available space
• It remains in “horizontal” mode in mobile or resized browsers and does not switch to mobile app vertical view (which shows other elements under the video)
• It should also allow for audio only playback to work on mobile

Our Disability Resource Center often has the need to professionally caption videos in existing folders that are already established. Some of these folders have lots and lots of subfolders. As it stands right now, if they change the caption settings on the parent folder, that does not cascade down to all the child subfolders. So our DRC staff has to take a ton of time to go into each subfolder to adjust the caption setting. This is not the best use of their time. It would be wonderful if a setting could be made to allow parent folder settings (specifically related to captioning) to cascade to existing and new subfolders.

On occasion, some new videos do not get automatically generated captions, or people want old videos without captions to have them added.

In order to do this you have to go to each individual recording select Settings, then Manage, then scroll down to select Re-process and finally select Ok. When you do that the page refreshes and takes you to the top of the recordings list, so you then have to scroll through again to find the other videos. This is a really long-winded and time-consuming way to do things but is even worse when you have multiple videos.

Sure I can raise a ticket to help out with the mass lot of videos, but that just wastes everyone's time and makes add delays to our users who want the captions asap.

What we could really do with is at the folder level a button to re-process multiple selected videos or a button for adding captions. In the same way, if you start selecting multiple videos in a folder, you will then see more options to Move recordings etc. We could have this extra button show there for only people with an admin role. It would be a great time saver.

When variable speed playback has been disabled there is no way for a viewer to know.

The speed options are not greyed out and it looks like you can still choose a different speed.

Is it possible to the have the speed options greyed out, completely removed or have some other way of indicating this option has been disabled?

Currently when listing recordings, the session shows something like "Recorded 1 month ago". To make it easier to sift through recordings, could each session please display the date recorded?

Currently, the Zoom integration requires Zoom admin permissions and arbitrarily brings in "all" recordings, but only new recordings. In addition to the obvious workflow concerns, this is a significant security and privacy concern for our users and our administrators.

Instead of asking for administrator access to Zoom, Panopto should empower users by creating a User-Managed Zoom app: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build#account-level-user-managed-apps

This would allow individual users to opt-in to the Zoom-Panopto integration, thereby consenting and granting access to only their Zoom recordings.

This is something that other users have requested in the past. In particular, this could also allow users to control which recordings are pulled into Panopto automatically and into which folders those recordings should be placed. Example of a request for Zoom integration opt-in: https://community.panopto.com/discussion/517/is-it-possible-for-an-opt-in-integration-with-zoom

We like Panopto and want this to be a success. However, we have denied all previous requests for account-level Zoom integrations due to similarly overreaching permissions requests.
