Panopto (Legacy) for Pc

This app is pathetic compared to other media players. Audible is so user friendly and functionally useful, and this app is embarrassingly below standard. The purpose of it is to play academic material. For someone to learn, they will often need to rewind the playback. There is no functional was to do this. There is a horrible rewind button that goes backwards at an unspecified speed, which is too slow to actually be useful. Then, it changes to a very rapid rewind after being held down for a longer, but also unspecified period. So you will either be unable to get back to the place you need to re-listen, or it will start hyper speed and bring you far before where you wanting, which wastes so so much time when done multiple times in an hour. God help you if you accidentally just push that same rewind button and don't hold it down! If you accidentally click the button, it takes you back to the beginning and you're screwed. You can't just grab the time bar and slide your place to where you need to be. There may be 2 hours of material on a 2 inch line, you can't even get within 10 minutes of where you need to be. There needs to be a "5 second" or "10 second" rewind button. There are many other issues with this app, but this one absolutely needs to be addressed if they want anyone to be able to learn while using it.

We have been using the app for the last 5 years. This is the best product for higher education video management. We are very pleased for its easy to use and flexibility. We use the app in several different use cases. One of the best features is the ability to record multiple sources, including multiple video cameras, screens, capture the PowerPoint presentation to generate title content sections, search inside video speech, screen captures, power point capture and captions! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. Finally, the app has the best customer support I have dealt with in 30 years! Great product.

I have been introduced to the app through school and I have to say, it was going well until the most recent update. This is how we lecture capture and it WAS integrated to canvas, but now, it won’t open through the canvas app. This feature was especially useful because i could access a specific class through canvas, click on the the app link and only those lectures for the class would be listed. It was GREAT! But now...I can’t categorize my lectures and most of all, if i pause the video, get up and go to the bathroom and come back, the screen is grey, it says there’s an error and I have to force close the app and reopen it. Every. Freaking. Time. Thank god there’s a tab for recently viewed. It’s the most frustrating part of my day and I really need you to fix it. This is just unacceptable.

I have seen some pretty negative reviews about this app, but I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. As a faculty member who uses it to (among other things) capture unforeseen events for incorporation into future presentations, I think it’s great. I always have my phone with me, and if an opportunity to capture something that’s worth sharing with my students presents itself, the app is always available. I complete a recording, upload it to the app's servers and I can add to it later using the app’s editing features.
