Accessibility Reports
Admins and Department Admins can now create a report at the folder or system level to see which videos have captions, audio descriptions, and/or translations, and how many Caption Credits have been allocated to each video. To find these new reports:

  • Folder Level: Navigate to the Stats page for that folder. At the bottom of the page, there is a new link called "Accessibility Report". Clicking this will generate a report specific to that folder.
  • Site Level: Navigate to your Usage Reports (System > Usage). In the New Report menu, select the "Accessibility Report" option from the drop-down menu.

This feature will be released after March 8th.

New Languages
Both Hebrew and Vietnamese have both been added as available languages for your Panopto site. These languages can be enabled at a folder or site level:

  • Folder Level: In the Folder's settings menu, on the Settings tab, change the Content Language to your desired language.
  • Site Level: Contact the Panopto Support Team to change your site's default language.

These languages will be available for ASR captions, and searching will yield results from both ASR captions and on-screen text (OCR).

Any existing captions can also be translated into either of these languages, just like any other translation service.

Our support article for using multiple languages for captions can be reviewed here.

Product Improvements
Panopto Core
Added Microsoft Teams chat synchronization to the Panopto platform, matching the popular functionality currently available for our Zoom integration.

Fixed the logic for how student scores are retrieved and reported to ensure that grades are always accurate. Previously, the system relied on the lineItems endpoint, which could occasionally lead to "impossible" scores (e.g., a student receiving 100 points out of a possible 10). To eliminate these discrepancies, we have transitioned our reporting logic to a more robust data source.

Fixed an issue where the system was incorrectly attempting to generate separate folders instead of establishing the intended data mappings. This fix ensures that context provisioning and mappings are handled correctly within the tool.

Fixed an issue in the Video Editor that prevented users from successfully copying or saving a session after using the Undo (CTRL + Z) command on newly added streams.

Fixed a synchronization issue within the Video Editor that occurred when using the Undo (CTRL + Z) command, ensuring your editing session remains stable and accurate. Previously, reverting an action could cause a mismatch where streams were removed from the Streams tab but erroneously remained on the Timeline. This inconsistency triggered a "404 Not Found" error and a message stating, "Another user started editing this session while you were away."

Panopto Mobile
Fixed a navigation "deadlock" in the mobile app that occurred when iOS users accessed playlists with no content.
