Very user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can listen and look at the slides simultaneously!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I currently dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That it's much easier for everyone to follow along with the presentation. It's easy to lose someone with just a recording, but the visual helps tremendously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so helpful and I can't believe a product like this exists!
Helpful, but not for the technically challenged
What do you like best about the product?
Panopto allows us to reach employees who may not be based on our main campus. We primarily use Panopto to livestream and record guest speakers, important meetings, and divisional updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is just part of the technology world - but we did have to invest in quite a bit of equipment to use Panopto in the way we needed to. We purchased a camera, tripod, mixer, speaker, and lots of cords to make everything work. However, it was an investment, and one that only needed to be purchased once. Panopto is also not easy to learn on your own, in my opinion. I do not describe myself as tech-savvy so we had our IT department come and teach us how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Pantopo allows us to not leave anyone out! No more conference calls and coworkers not being able to see what everyone else is seeing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't use it in this way, but my institution uses it for classroom use as well. This works well for them.
Basic Tool

Panopto was relatively easy to use once I had a brief introduction.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seemed that there were not many different options to create a more visually appealing video.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I utilized Panopto to provide online training sessions that were easily accessible to students whenever they wanted to utilize them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest having a basic outline of slides and a script you develop before using the software.
Panopto Medical School

Panopto allows for multiple screens as well as speeding up the playback.

When you go into fullscreen mode, there isn't a scroll bar to get through the video.

Very effective tool for uploading lecture content.
Difficult to navigate

Ability to capture lectures so that my students could view asynchronistically.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not care for it, found it too complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taping lectures for students to view asynchronous.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to familiarize yourself before employing it live.
Very useful
What do you like best about the product?
Ability for video learning and how it has access at all times to preview
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike nothing as of yet but it can be made more faster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Essential tool for additional learning in college courses
An essential tool for online university lectures!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been teaching online at the university level since 2011. In the past, I had upload narrated PowerPoints to a different online platform to be embedded in my D2L classroom. I had nothing but problems with this approach; the audio never came through in the final versions. Ponopto has completely solved this problem for me. Narrating PowerPoints and embedding them in my classes has never been easier! I just launch the app that I downloaded to my Macbook pro; I launch my PowerPoint, and I record. (I did have to look up instructions online, however. It wasn't obvious to me how to record a narrated PowerPoint. I just googled my questions, and I easily found the answers. I was up and running within minutes!) Once I'm somewhat happy with my narration, I upload the final version to the Panopto website; I grab the embed code, and I add it to my class. Easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I downloaded the Panopto application to my Macbook Pro for recording my PowerPoint lectures. One thing I dislike is that Panopto records the moment I press the record button, meaning that it records the couple seconds it takes me to go to PowerPoint and to start my slideshow. There is a way to edit these seconds out once the PowerPoint lecture is uploaded to the Panopto site, but it takes a little extra knowledge and time. Also, I haven't quite figured out if it's possible to record a split screen with me on one side and my PowerPoint on the other. I've never attended (and never have been offered, to my recollection) a Panopto training session or class. I think it would be helpful to go through some sort of training. Nevertheless, Panopto is easy enough to use that I've muddled through without instruction so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Panopto allows me to deliver the same lecture I would deliver in a face-to-face setting to students in an online environment. It allows me to to record lectures when it's convenient to me, and it allows my students to watch them when it's convenient for them. It makes non-synchronous learning possible, and it enhances online learning because it puts my voice, my knowledge, my experience, and my enthusiastic personality in the hands of distance learners.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you implement Panopto, I think it would be worth offering training in the beginning and also as new team members joint the organization. I'm sure Panopto is capable of doing more than I know because I am teaching myself how to use the application through trial and error. It is a time consuming way to learn, but it is possible to get quite far with Panopto without training or support. It is a really easy platform to use, after all.
Fantastic software for AMS (televised) classes - online coursework
What do you like best about the product?
Easy access to recorded classroom lectures and presentations makes review possible and catching up after an absence a cinch
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be difficult to find a place in a long video- I wish the user could set personal bookmarks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the university, we are able to make classes from other campuses available to our own and vice versa, greatly increasing the variety of courses students can take (and participants they can work with)
Panopto for presentations
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, quick to learn, great for sharing with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface seems too large.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability for faculty to record class lectures has proved beneficial.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a wonderful lecture capture solution.
Reliable, Easy to Use Lecture Capture System
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for lecture capture for our online courses. Having the videos hosted in our Panopto cloud has been a big advantage over having instructors throw videos on YouTube. This is more secure and gives us the ability to have a consistent content experience for the students and instructors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider upgrading your support package to get more end-user support.
