Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Panopto is always available - it can be used from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. And I have never had it fail when I needed it to record an important presentation or event. My students regularly use it to record assignments, which allows them to share more than just words - they can share dynamic images, hand gestures, intonation, and pacing. For me the entire platform is a "pro" it just joins up lots of individual aspects of capturing a lecture in to one really smooth and easy to use process. From an academics point of view it is very easy to use and it also very flexible and can work with many teaching styles. I like that it can be as simple or as complicated as you like catering for a large group of people. The online platform is very easy to use and since the aesthetic revamp I really like the UI. Its easy to manage recordings and as an Admin I can easily manage permissions and users. All in all the system works very well and doesn't require huge amounts of training in order to use! The support is also second to none and if you have a problem you can be reassured the support team will help to resolve it! Very easy to use as it's fully integrated into teaching spaces and VLE. Seamless service from recording in teaching spaces to students viewing online. I love all of the functionality and the ability to manage all of the content. We can live stream events, add quizzes to videos and integrate them into Canvas, schedule lectures and more. All of this is backed up by a passionate company that takes pride in their work and provides excellent support. They also have a thriving community available and an excellent annual conference where you get to speak with the engineers in person. Great piece of software that is easy to use and administer. They tie into other pieces of educational software that makes my life easier as an admin. Cons If I want to organize recordings by date, setting up folders for each class on a semester-by-semester basis requires me to think about which classes need a folder to save recordings. It's a small price to pay for the convenience of having recordings from when I first used Panopto in 2009. The online editor is a bit limited and I would love to see a web based recorder or at least a "no Install" recorder for both mac and windows (currently its only for windows) This would be very handy for external lectures. Also the apps on both android and iOS could use an update. Editing is a little finicky. Could be a little easier. No web based recorder yet. A web based recorder with an intuitive guided experience would help our students create and submit videos for homework. What I'm excited about though, is given the companies passion for their platform, I know this is something they will develop down the line. The reporting could be enhanced, but I know this is coming in the future.
