Re: Talk with a Panopto UX Designer!
How about improving the way the content retention policy audit screen is displayed? When not at full screen, columns get cut off and truncated.
I also get frustrated by the lack of search-ability and information in the Archive. (These same issues apply to the Recycle Bin view.)
I would love the ability to change the view, search based on the name, and filter based on dates (like you can do in the rest of the UI).
If I want to find a video in the Archive, I have to sort by Name or date and just page through the results looking for it or using Command-F and finding a word on the page. Also, having the complete file path shown instead of just the folder would be extremely helpful.
Add "shorter than" criteria to retention policy to allow auto deletion of unintentional recordings
This feature would allow Panopto to automatically flag videos shorter than a set length for deletion or archival. When people set up Zoom meetings so they auto record any time someone joins, we end up with hundreds of videos 30 seconds or less that were recorded unintentionally. Adding this criteria to the retention ppolicy would allow us to automatically clean our account up from all these unintentional recordings.
Restoring Archived or Deleted Sessions to a Different Folder
It doesn't happen often right now but there are times we (Admins) need to restore archived or deleted sessions to a different folder. It would make the workflow more streamlined if we could do this when restoring instead having to wait 2 days for the session to restore and then move it. This would also be a better workflow for creators.
I expect the need to increase as we begin to enforce retention policies this Summer.
Would it be possible to add this option?
Restore all content in a folder that has been archived
Currently, the request to restore a video is done on an individual bases. Most faculty will want all of their previous recordings from a semester to be restored, and would prefer to do that at the folder level, rather than making 30 separate requests. Is this a feature we can get enabled in Panopto? We have some faculty who do not teach the same course each year, so will go back and want to re-use old content and panic once they realized it has been archived. While they can put in a restore request, it would be better for them to do it on the course folder level than individual recordings.
Thanks,

Homepage Calendar View of Past and Scheduled Webcasts
This was part of our previous video portal and made it easy for viewers to find recent, past, and upcoming scheduled live webcasts in a monthly or weekly view.
Re: Dedicated caption editors
Just to reinforce the other comments, this is definitely needed. In order to comply with accessibility legislation, we need a feasible way of correcting captions. The ability to enable students or support staff to correct captions by assigning them a specific role would be really valuable.
Re: Button to Swap Primary and Secondary Streams for a Session
Around that same time I also requested the ability to remove the video of the primary stream while leaving the audio stream intact. I think two years ago they told me that was coming soon.
Re: Add text, annotation, and graphic overlay ability to the editor
Agreed completely with the request. We just had an instructor ask for the ability to overlay a clickable link at the end of her video. She can do it in YouTube, but not here.
There is another Feature Request ("youtube-esk" Pop up link or note on top of video in session) which is related to this.
We would not consider this feature request fulfilled by a Camtasia integration.

Re: Dedicated caption editors
This is a much-needed feature. Automated captions have a sub-optimal accuracy, we need a scalable way of implementing captions corrections. So, roles for a caption correctors, and ideally a workflow for prioritising, assigning for correction, verification/approval of corrections etc. Many institutions are likely to share this requirement.
Panopto Capture: Add option to mirror video
There are some scenarios where it would be nice to have the option to mirror a video source coming into Panopto Capture. It would also be great in the desktop app but it seems like this would be some low-hanging fruit in Capture.
