Sometimes getting out of the office for a day is the best way to give yourself space to think up new ideas, dig into potential new opportunities, and find solutions to old, unanswered problems.

It sure seems like this past long weekend helped to inspire a number of Panopto users. In this shortened week after holidays in the US and UK, we still saw a host of exciting new ideas, insights, and information recorded and shared.

In the spirit of passing it on, here are just a few of the ideas shared online this week with Panopto’s multi-camera video software.
