Re: Allow stepping through a video frame-by-frame

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.

Re: Custom Role: Creators cannot move clips

Thank you very much Brianna.

Re: Custom Role: Creators cannot move clips

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.

Re: Panopto remote recorders API to change recording templates

Hey, Huub!

This is a great idea, and I really appreciate you sharing your workflow and how this would be a huge time-saver with your upcoming changes to your lecture capture.

We already have a very similar feature request here: Remote recorder API.

Do you agree that the suggestion to allow changing the remote recorder's template via API aligns with your request? If so, I can merge these! That way, our team can get a clearer picture of everyone's interest in this feature.

Re: Custom Role: Creators cannot move clips

Hello Brianna, thank you for your reply. In our case, it is important that we maintain control over the content in the course folders. My initial thought would be to assign more customised roles via LTI. I could also imagine that these customised roles could be included in the Custom User Roles as a new category.

Panopto Remote Recorder API change templates

Hi,

We are looking at using the Panopto remote recorders API to schedule recordings for users. One drawback to this is that users would not be able to select what inputs they want on their recordings.

We know that if a user schedules a recording through the Panopto website, they can select different templates for a given remote recorder that could have different selected input sources. So we could have preset on any remote recorder say a template for audio and PowerPoint and another for audio, video and PowerPoint, etc.

With that in mind, are there any Panopto API commands that would allow us to change a remote recorder's template? Or if there is something else that would allow us to change the inputs for a scheduled recording?

Thanks

Louis

Re: GetSessionDetailedUsage API Returns Both Valid and Invalid Users

Hi Adis,

Thanks for the update. This is what our end user do from their program. But as we have a big amount of IDs, these steps consumes additional resources and time consuming. It would be great if this issue can be fixed from your API side directly. Please update us once it's fixed.

Many thanks,

Lily

Re: API Functions

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your interest in using the Panopto API. Here's what we currently support:

Supported via API

Video Metadata (titles, folders, IDs)

Our REST API (/api/v1/) and SOAP API (SessionManagement, AccessManagement) fully support retrieving:

Session/video metadata (titles, IDs, descriptions, dates)
Folder structures and hierarchy
Searching for videos by keyword
Listing videos within specific folders

Basic Viewing Statistics

The REST API endpoint GET /api/v1/sessions/{id}/viewers returns per-user viewing data including:
Percent of video completed
Last viewed date/time

Not currently supported via API

Knowledge-Check/Quiz Results

We do not currently expose quiz/knowledge check scores through our public API
Quiz results are accessible through the Panopto web interface and can be manually exported as CSV, but there is no programmatic API access

Detailed Viewing Logs

Granular viewing event logs (specific timestamps, play/pause events, etc.) are not available through the public API
Only aggregate viewing completion data is available per user/session

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Adis

Re: Ability to provide timestamped video annotations on other videos

This would be such a great feature! It would improve accessibility. Enabling instructors and peers to provide timestamped video feedback at the exact moment where feedback is needed, in context, which would significantly improve the learning experience and is particularly valuable for language learning like Auslan, where visual and expressive communication is key.
