Hey, Ahmed!

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a few questions to make sure we're on the same page about this feature.

First, when ASR (automatic captions) is turned off in a folder, that setting should remain even after refreshing the page. If not, please create a support ticket so we can investigate this further.

Second, the default for adding these captions can be changed at a site level. Search for the setting Captioning - Enable Automatic Machine Captioning Provider, and then change this to either Disabled (to remove ASR entirely) or Enabled (to have ASR available, but not on by default). Do note that this will only affect folders created after changing this setting. Any existing folders will still need to be changed manually.

Finally, based on the last line you wrote, this request seems more geared toward deleting existing captions for all videos in a folder. Is that true?

OMG - I am desperately searching for exactly this. Please add Northwestern University to the list. We have weekly seminars - and it is IMPOSSIBLE to have weekly different links for our live cast. One small human mistake in not quite / or incorrectly updating links on multiple communication streams (email/ flyers / hallway monitors / webpage /etc^2) and our whole public audience is shut out.

The idea of sharing out the link to the folder is maybe okay … but really NOT the solution needed. Navigating folders on a phone is tough - and some of our public audience frankly are not very tech savvy and are working on a phone….

HELP! May we please have a features where we can set up one url - and then perhaps we do have to do set up linking a number of scheduled recuring meetings to that single URL - but Panopto will just connect the person to the "next one" or the one active in that moment….

Thank you - I can see I am not along on this… there are several other threads going back years and to even more recent asking for this functionality.

Hi, Duke would like to add it's vote to this feature request. Duke Chapel is interested in using Panopto for webcasting its events, but the lack of a permanent URL would mean they'd have to continuously update their several live stream listings.

Bringing up the initial request was to bulk archive/unarchive. Has any of this request been accomplished? A comment from June 2022, "My understanding is that there will be changes in the upcoming release as to how archived videos are displayed. " Has there been any other changes to the bulk archiving/restoring process?

Jumping in here to add in on this feature request. I like Michael's suggestion from above as well. Either way, the current process for non-admins of needing to restore the video just to archive it is tedious and cumbersome.

I agree, but there is some value in forcing the creator to restore first, as it's impossible to review them without restoring first. Otherwise creators could delete something, then weeks/months later realize they need something from that session they never reviewed before deleting. I know, I know .. we're all adults and babysitting and guardrails are annoying.

I agree that folks should be able to delete right from the archive, but I think instead of deleting immediately it should just be flagged for deletion in 90-days (like the recycle bin) or go into a queue for admins to review. We've had quite a few situations where someone has deleted something they shouldn't have and by the time it makes it to us it's too late to restore. Having a "Delete Now" button available to everyone is just going to dump gas on that fire.

Also, small note, but both the user who created the content and the person who restored the content should be notified when something is restored from the Recycle Bin/Archive. In the case of the Archive, it should come when it is ready to view. If this isn't happening check your site settings: (https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Restore-Archived-Content#hTargetInstance4).

Panopto should adopt the YouTube player shortcuts. Then you could pause and use the , and . to move forward and backward 1 frame at a time.

Thank you very much Brianna.

Perfect — that's the exact clarification I needed! I've filed this away, and I've adjusted the name of this request to specifically call out the need to limit Creators' ability to move clips. This is a new idea, so we're excited to hear more feedback.

I've also added you to our other feature request, which specifically allows custom roles to be synced with LMSs.
