Frequently Asked Questions

  • Type a Search word in the field at the top of the page.
  • The results will show which recordings and the timestamp for the word.
  • Clicking the word will take you to that point in the recording.

As such, a search may not return all instances of an expected word or phrase if the automated transcripts / text recognition do not correctly identify the word(s).

When camera shots and navigation thumbnails reduce the presentation image on your screen, you can increase the image size multiple ways.

  1. Mouse over the presentation or camera screen and click on the square in the upper right to go full screen for that view.
  2. If you want to swap the camera and presentation view so the camera is the larger image, mouse over and click the bi-directional arrows. You can also click the Down arrow to the right in the Navigation bar to collapse the thumbnails.

Panopto recordings can be played at variable speeds to speed up playback or slow down for clarity.

You can change the playback speed by clicking on the 1x Speed button to the right of the timeline and selecting a playback range from half speed to double speed in quarter increments.

By default, Panopto playback will show the transcript on the left and Closed Captioning under the presentation screen.

Transcriptions are time-stamped to provide an additional navigation option. Clicking the text will take you to that section of the recording.

Closed Captioning can be turned on and off by clicking the CC in the Navigation bar.

Except where explicitly noted by the content creator in Panopto, transcripts and captions in Panopto should be assumed to be computer generated based on the audio recording. As such, transcripts and captions cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate.

You can either upload a pre-made video to Panopto or record a video with an optional screen capture.

No PHI or copyrighted content (outside of fair use exemptions for copyright) is allowed on Panopto.
