My company records all of our meetings, demos, town halls, and so forth.

What do you like best about the product?

I find Panopto easy and convenient for making mini-lecture videos. It’s built right into Blackboard, so I don’t have to deal with external files or links, and students are less likely to run into access problems. I’m not tech savvy and only need the basic features, and I find Panopto intuitive and easy to get started with. The features I use have worked fine and haven’t failed me; it does what I need.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Panopto to make convenient mini lectures under 10 minutes, each covering one topic with an introduction and worked examples. It’s easy to use and built into Blackboard, so I avoid external files and links and students are less likely to have trouble opening videos or doing the worksheet.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Panopto is its integration with Canvas. It makes it easy for faculty to record, upload, and share videos directly within their courses. Students can also access course recordings and review the content whenever they need to.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I think Panopto could improve is its user interface. Some features and settings are not very intuitive, especially for faculty who are not familiar with the platform. It can take some time for new users to learn how to navigate and manage their videos. And we need more Accessibility features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Panopto helps us manage and share instructional videos in one place. With its Canvas integration, faculty can easily add recordings to their courses, and students can access them whenever they need to review course materials. Having a centralized video platform also makes it easier to support faculty and manage video content across different courses.

What do you like best about the product?

Making video ads and landing page video creatives used to take days of back and forth at our agency Digitale India. With Elai, I build an avatar ad or landing page video in less than one hour without setting up camera.

What do you dislike about the product?

Canvas editor only shows a still photo of the avatar while building ads. If I spot a script typo after exporting, I have to re-render and burn extra credits.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved our video production delay at Digitale India. We can now deliver fresh video ads and landing page video clips on the same day instead of waiting days.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Elai.io is that it allows me to use technical or work-related information and turn it into video content easily and with less time spent recording and editing. With the tool, I can go from having a script or other text materials directly into a video. This is helpful for creating training and educational material. For instance, when I need to explain a certain procedure, I do not have to waste time writing and recording a video for my colleagues; instead, I can make a quick explainer video using Elai.io. The same can be said about holding onboarding sessions or sharing news and other information in a more engaging way compared to written materials. The tool is great because it allows me to reduce the time spent on a video significantly while also being able to deliver a message clearly and professionally.
For me, the tool is most valuable when it comes to developing, training and educational content. Instead of providing instructions or training materials on a particular process, I can create a video demonstrating the work instruction and share it with my colleagues. This approach helps create knowledge base content, provide onboarding materials and discuss various work related updates in a more engaging and effective format compared to a written document. The ability to eliminate a significant portion of time spent on video creation is the primary benefit of the tool that I currently use.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main feature that Elai.io needs to improve is the customization. The avatars and voices of the AI are very effective, though sometimes the facial expression or voice intonation could be more accurate or realistic. Advanced editing options and better render quality also need improvement. Nevertheless, these are small drawbacks and my experience with the application is positive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Elai.io resolves the issue of creating professional-looking videos without recording or editing. It allows me to turn my work-related and technical processes into training and educational videos to help others understand what I do faster and easier. It is a valuable tool whenever I need to make several pieces of content and do not want to waste time and effort setting up a camera every time.
