Re: Text to speech feature
Yes same here. Panopto should just integrate Elevenlabs, its the absolute best https://elevenlabs.io/

Re: The Everything menu
I like the 'viewable by me' as it suggested that it is a specific view to the person but I would also like the view to allow visibility in the list of the sharing setting so you can see ata glance that the video is set to public or viewable across the organization etc to pick up the ones that have been shared globally by mistake. you could instantly see if each video is within my course or in someone elses course but they have shared globally
Re: The Everything menu
If an Inbox makes sense, feel free to use that instead of the "Everything" menu option. That has been and will continue to be my only issue with the default user template for the left-side/nav menus.
Re: Notification of an issue affecting Panopto for Windows
UPDATE: A clarification to the previous post. A server-side update was implemented to address the Panopto for Windows upload problem, preventing it from occurring in the future. However, any current recorders still exhibiting this behavior may need to follow the steps below in order to resolve it and enable successful login attempts going forward. We apologize for any confusion in the previous post and encourage you to reach out to the support team if you still need assistance with this issue.
Sign out of Panopto for Windows
Clear the cache and cookies for the machine's default browser.

Note:
If performing this on managed machines on behalf of an institution you can remove every user's user.config file in the AppData location to force users to re-authenticate. This is located here:

Re: Departmental Admins: ability to view department's user group membership, user info/settings
yes please
How to download the auto-generated transcript on any video?
I know there are ways to download the transcipt from videos where the creator has enabled captions. However, clearly Panopto has auto-generated transcripts for all videos since we are able to search through the transcripts. It would be a huge convenience to users if these auto-generated transcripts could also be used for subtitles or could be downloadable, even when the creator does not explicitly enable this.
So this is a feature request, it would be great if we could have access to full transcripts of all videos in some form. But more importantly, I'm wondering if there is a way that this can be done now using some possibly secret API endpoint?
Re: How to download the auto-generated transcript on any video?
Hi @David Arnold,
Any captions/transcripts downloaded from the Panopto Viewers (interactive or embedded) should not have timestamps and any downloaded from the video's settings should have timestamps; however, when you download a Panopto video, it downloads as an MP4 with its caption file built-in. I confirmed with a colleague that, in cases where a third-party media player displays those built-in captions, we expect them to appear without timestamps.
If you feel that there's an issue beyond what's described here, or what Michael explained above, I'd be happy to submit a Support ticket on your behalf so we can investigate this for you - just let me know.
Best wishes,
Cait
Re: Scheduled recording bulk endpoints
Hi Gareth,
Unfortunately, I don't currently have an anticipated date or window when this will be released, but it is under active development and we will ship it as soon as it's complete.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Kevin
