Home Video solution Five problems that Panopto solves
Panopto is a video content management system (video CMS) for organisations that work with a lot of video, such as universities, training teams and companies. It gives you one secure place to record, store, search and share video. Here are five problems Panopto helps you solve:
- 1) Video that is scattered and not secure
- 2) Knowledge that is hard to find inside video
- 3) Video that doesn’t fit your learning platform
- 4) Video that not everyone can use
- 5) No insight into how video is used
Viducon is the official Panopto partner in Denmark. We help with implementation, support and workshops, from the first demo through to daily use.
1) Video that is scattered and not secure
Video ends up in many places: on laptops, in shared drives and on several platforms. It is hard to know what exists and who can see it, and sensitive recordings are put at risk.
How Panopto helps
Panopto gathers your video in one central library, hosted in the cloud or on-premises. Access is controlled with granular permissions and single sign-on, so each recording is only seen by the people it is meant for. That makes it easier to meet data protection requirements such as GDPR, and to share video widely without losing control.
2) Knowledge that is hard to find inside video
A traditional video platform treats video as a file. You can’t search what was said, so people scrub through hours of recordings and the knowledge stays buried.
How Panopto helps
Panopto indexes spoken words and on-screen text, so you can search for a keyword and jump straight to the moment. Automatic captions and transcripts come with it, and AI summaries and smart navigation help viewers find what they need before they commit to a whole recording.
3) Video that doesn’t fit your learning platform
When video lives on a separate site, learners have to jump between systems to watch it, and the course experience falls apart.
How Panopto helps
Panopto connects to the learning platforms you already use, such as Canvas, D2L Brightspace and Moodle, so videos are embedded in the course page and play without leaving it. For video that needs to reach beyond the LMS, the Connect add-on delivers branded video experiences.
4) Video that not everyone can use
Captions added as an afterthought, no way to search what was said and no support for a second language quietly shut people out of video. At the same time, accessibility requirements are tightening across Europe.
How Panopto helps
Panopto builds accessibility into the platform. Every recording can be captioned automatically as it is published, and you can edit the captions, order human captioning or connect a third-party provider. Captions can be translated into several languages, and the player supports screen readers, keyboard navigation and adjustable playback speed. Panopto is tested regularly against WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, with documentation ready when you need it.
5) No insight into how video is used
Without analytics it is hard to know who watched, for how long and where viewers drop off, or whether a video does what it was made for.
How Panopto helps
Panopto shows who watched, how long they watched and which sections drew the most attention, so teachers and trainers can see where a video loses people and improve it over time.
