Panopto for Windows/macOS: Automatic Audio Level Adjustment
Michael Espey
Superstar
We've seen a major uptick in problems with recordings, either the audio gain in Panopto being set way too low or way too high. Generally, it's bad enough that the capture is just unusable. Folks are used to and expect the workflow that is present in apps like Zoom and Teams (and other VCMS platforms), where this is handled automatically.
Please implement a feature to automatically detect and set the proper gain for the audio devices in Panopto for Windows/macOS.

A great idea, Michael!
As I'm sure you're already aware, we do have an alert if there is low/no audio being picked up by the Panopto recorder. From the feedback you have been given, does it seem like these notifications are not being noticed by the person recording? Similarly, there is an audio bar within the recorder that shows how loud/quiet the audio is. It sounds like previewing this setting hasn't been useful for instructors, correct?
We have a few existing requests that cover these sorts of ideas, so I would love to get some additional perspective to help consolidate them in a meaningful manner.
