Panopto allows us to organize all of the videos that created and put them in a central place. It allows us to search for and categorize the vides so they can be found easily. We can also control who sees the videos based on audience. We can also get stats on who is viewing the videos.

Medical Practice - to Panopto or not to Panopto
We use Panopto to record and broadcast teaching sessions, with students and learners having the opportunity to watch on their own schedule, search the lectures, and save notes directly within the system. They can pose questions and comment to the whole group, and have an organized system for themselves to reference later on. The multiple screens both shows the presenter and the presentation.
Panopto was used mainly as a method of providing anytime-anywhere access to important educational content. Faculty and students can use it to record events, presentations, demonstrations, and impromptu meetings.
It was initially used by some early adopters at the university, but gained popularity as the "flipped classroom" paradigm grew. It allowed students to have access to information at their own pace, and when they were ready to digest it. Since people process information at different rates, having a recording that can be paused, replayed, and slowed down (or sped up) provided flexibility in terms of students controlling their individual progress.

We primarily use Panopto for lecture capture and distance learning. Using Panopto for training and meeting recordings is something that we are just starting to leverage. Having a place to centrally store, share and search through videos has been a great value to our institution. Our integration with Panopto to D2L has provided a simple solution for instructors and students to interact 'face-to-face' even if they are located around the world.
Panopto is available for all users (faculty, staff, students) at UMBC. It provides a screencasting platform for recording lectures, just-in-time tutorials, how-to videos, and more. We use to archive webinars and organize/distribute training content. Panopto allows us to capture media content quickly and easily, and distribute that media to a variety of platforms and internet speeds, which helps users who may not have the optimal environment for accessing content.
We have a sitewide license to Panopto for video hosting and playback. We have the lecture capture installed in many of the large classrooms, but not across campus. Panopto provides the hosting and streaming needs for courses and the campus. The ability to control the entire library, schedule recordings, and manage sharing and branding is the key advantage over using something like YouTube.

Video content for learning and teaching
Panopto is available to use by the whole organization and there are more and more staff who are taking up the opportunity to use it for recording lectures and short videos for students. We often have quite dispersed student groups, over different campuses, and our most watched videos are often of assignment information and difficult teaching concepts that they need to come back to for clarity.

The Panopto video capture system is integrated into our Virtual Learning Environment and used throughout our institution for the scheduled recording of Lectures. Academic and professional service colleagues also use Panpopto's personal capture system to create learning resources from the desktop. Searchable video recordings add hugely to the experience of our students.

Good Product with Room for Improvement
We specifically purchased Panopto to be used by our faculty. Generally, the staff does not use it unless they have training material to create. Our faculty uses it to record in-person lectures so the students can review them at a later date. In our online-only classes, the faculty uses Panopto to deliver their lectures. In a few cases, faculty are using it for student assignments as well as to check the comprehension of the material.

Panopto: Potential vs Reality and Top Reasons for Concern
We use Panopto for developing content for predominately online courses in our MS and MBA programs. The most common use case is voice-over PPTs and screen captures thought the tool has other features such as podcasting and streaming live videos. We have also experimented with using it as a repository for our professional shot and edited video content though we have found that cumbersome due to the tools integration issues with our LMS (Blackboard).

Panopto! A nice screen capture program with some nice bells and whistles you can use in Canvas!
We replaced TechSmith Relay with Panopto. It is set up to use in Canvas, our LMS, as an LTI. One of the main features we switched to Panopto for was the automated closed captioning of videos, to help make our videos accessibility compliant.
