About Panopto

Instructional Video Management

Whether recording, editing, storing, or sharing, the Panopto instructional video platform offers faculty and students a host of features that make it a one-stop lecture capture, video production, and learning engagement tool. Panopto can be used as a standalone application, or as a Canvas or Zoom integration, and features:

  • Ability to record live lectures or create on-demand videos
  • Upload/edit existing videos from your computer or a third-party apps like Camtasia
  • Unlimited storage capacity, and ability to sync and organize content into video libraries
  • Helpful viewing analytics
  • Built-in accessibility with automatic screen-generated captions
  • "Discussions" feature and embedded quizzes to measure viewer engagement

A faculty and staff pilot group selected Panopto to replace Mediasite as the new campus solution for lecture capture and storage. Mediasite will be retired in December 2022.
