"Works well and multi-purpose"

What do you like best about Panopto?

I personally use Panopto for creating screen captures in video, such as to demonstrate an issue or behavior for a vendor or quick tutorial for a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

I wouldn’t say I dislike anything about Panopto. There are a couple quirks that are annoying. As an example, from support perspective, permissions for non-administrator roles occasionally change during updates and suddenly our users can’t do something they used to be able to do. This is not unique to Panopto though. Also, I don’t really need a microphone or webcam to make my screen capture videos so I don’t have them hooked up. Because of this, the Panopto recorder app always throws up a warning about 30 seconds into my recording and I have to select “ignore” to make it go away and allow me to proceed. Then I have to edit the recording to cut that part out of my screen capture. There should be a way to configure the app to avoid that message but I haven’t found it.

"Grad Student user of Panopto"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

You can take notes at certain points of the video lecture as each part has their own section (based on the creator of the video). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

Sometimes it does not like going into full screen mode and will only be stuck in window mode. I am not sure if that is because of the note taking system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great user experience and support!"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

the Customer Support is amazing. They attend to every detail and always make sure a positive resolution results from any contact with them. I mention it just because excellent customer support doesn't seem to be the norm these days, and Panopto is the best.

The functionality is probably the most obvious advantage that this software has over others; they continuously integrate their customer feedback into their updates. I have seen other similar software offerings "rest on their laurels" once they gained some momentum, but Panopto is always working to stay on the leading edge while offering an incredibly stable platform.!

What do you dislike about Panopto?

everything is great, the only thing i would add is a couple of features in the editor.! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for reviewing speeches"
5/5

That the class is able to record our speeches and upload to Panopto for reviewing to be able to write our critical reflections. The best is being able to sign in with our schools Canvas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is less personal, any teacher or Everett Community College worker that uses Panopto and uploads videos, any user is able to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Easy to Use Lecture Capture System"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

Panopto has been reliable for our institution and they continue to add new features. The addition of automatic captions for our videos has increased accessibility of our video content. Sharing and creating videos is very easy. We also really enjoy that we can create videos using Zoom or other video creation and upload the media easily. Table of contents to create jump points in the video is nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

The integration process with our LMS is a little bit wonky. Some of our role types cause the system to time out. However, it works just fine for students and instructors. It is just difficult for other role types to use it. The Panopto recorder software could use a performance and visual boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Panopto: The Reason Why I Never, Ever Went to Class in Person"
4/5
What do you like best about Panopto?

Panopto provides reliable, high-quality recordings of my med school lectures that allow me to get an in-class experience without actually having to be in class. You can also speed up or slow down the audiovisual feed without loss of quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panopto?

You can only see one camera view on the big screen at the time; as far as I know there's no way to split the screen between the lecture projection and the video feed showing the professor/whiteboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
