Is there any update on including the pause button on-screen?

David MahonyDavid Mahony

In a standard Panopto presentation using one screen and a slide deck, a presenter can see nothing else but the slides and must resort to hot keys to start/pause/stop. This remains a significant issue in my institution. The fact that lecturers are unsure as to whether they have paused or re-started a video lecture is preventing me from advising them to take a break in a recording session when they wish to but instead plough on to the end.  Neither the Windows client recorder or Panopto Capture includes a clear pause/re-start option.

If the toolbar could float over the slides, lecturers could be confident that they are indeed recording/have paused. As it stands, a second touch of the hot key means they might be on pause or have started again while thinking the opposite. 

Any update on this feature?

Thank you.

    In regards to a lack of Pause button in Panopto Capture in the browser, a rep at Panopto told me that there is an existing feature request number on their side for this type of request: FR-3612. A heads up to others that you can have your organization added to this request.
