Make chapters anchored and linkable
Harry Kalantzis
Tyro
It would be really useful for each chapter that you create in a Panopto video to be anchored and for creators to be able to link to that chapter.
So when viewers click on the anchored link, for example:
https://brookes.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=7b630f77-7181-4eae-99a0-acb30155c52b#517
the videos starts at that specific chapter instead of starting from the beginning.
This would allow for long videos to become more bite-sized.

You actually can sort of do that but it's a manual process. Just add "&start=(# of seconds)" to the end of the link.
For example, this link works (for people on our campus):
https://notredame.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=424728e9-68e3-407a-a6ad-ab84012b3047&start=376
Stupidly, only viewers get an option to share a link to a specific time when they click the share button.

Thank you for reminding me! Good workaround!
@Charles Barbour @Harry Kalantzis The "Start at" functionality for creators is going to be added in the version being released on the 26th.
Awesome, thanks for letting us know!
@Michael Espey I'm not finding it in the release notes. Has that been officially announced?
@Charles Barbour I am not seeing an official note, but it is in their screenshot of the overhauled sharing experience. I found it on our staging site.
It seems to work for both embeds and for links. I haven't plugged staging into a canvas site, but I assume that will work as well.
@Michael Espey That makes sense!
Is it possible to add an end time as well? The "&start=x" works fine, so I tried typing "&start=x&end=y", but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
Hi @Eric Kama Steinberg,
Please upvote the following post for the ability to add an end time to the share/embedded link: https://community.panopto.com/discussion/2003/end-viewing-time-option-in-an-embedded-video-or-sharing-link
