Panopto has updated with new and exciting features to significantly improve the processes of editing, sharing, and and viewing recorded sessions. The following features are now active and/or available:

  • Video Reference Copies – The process of copying a session has improved significantly with Reference Copies, or copies that are connected to the original session. After recording and editing a video, Panopto users can create reference copies of the video in different folders to share with different courses/sections. When a user edits the original recording, the changes are applied to all reference copies of that session (if any). Please note that non-Reference copies can still be made in the video settings.
  • Discussion Notifications – All users now have the option to receive a daily summary email of discussion activity on their recordings. These notifications can be activated and managed to preference in the User Settings section.
  • Audio Descriptions – Users can create or upload audio descriptions to their recordings in order to increase accessibility using Panopto Editor. If viewing a recording with audio descriptions added, users can turn them on/off using a button in the Panopto Viewer. When toggled, the video will automatically pause and read audio descriptions.

With these changes, we hope that you will have an even better experience in creating and viewing sessions. For more information on Panopto, be sure to take a look at the ITRS Panopto Site.

Asynchronous lectures are growing in popularity, and fortunately, are becoming increasingly easy to record.

Accordingly, ITRS is pleased to announce the arrival of new and improved features in Panopto:

  • Multi-stream Viewer – Mobile device users can view and navigate through multiple streams in recordings.
  • Moderating Discussions – After recording and sharing a Panopto session, creators are able to moderate discussions in the viewer.
  • Preview in Capture – Preview each individual stream in Panopto Capture.
  • Improved Share Feature – A new and improved interface for sharing recordings. Share emails now contain Table of Contents and captions (if present in the recording).
  • Multi-Language Search – Users can discover content by multi-language searching.

These new tools make for a (dare I say?) fun experience creating and viewing recorded lectures!
