If you aren’t 100% satisfied with Echo360’s Active Learning Platform, then we’d like to ask for 15 minutes of your time.
Panopto was created at Carnegie Mellon University by professors and computer scientists with a goal of dramatically simplifying video capture and management. If you’re accustomed to Echo360, you’ll find that Panopto provides more flexible deployment options in the cloud, higher quality video recording and live streaming, better customer support, and lower total cost of ownership.
And now, migrating from Echo360 is easier than ever. Panopto offers a video conversion tool that will transfer your Echo360 media files and metadata into a new Panopto video library. Our engineers will verify that every video converted successfully, and will provision your existing users into your new Panopto library.

You don’t need specialized appliances to reliably capture video at scale. Panopto’s recording and live streaming software runs on PCs and Macs, captures up to four feeds of video simultaneously, and produces higher quality output than Echo360’s PRO, POD, and software-based capture systems. Leading institutions like University of Arizona capture more than 3,000 hours of Panopto video every week. And with unique features like failsafe recording, you won’t find a more reliable capture and streaming solution.
If you like Echo360’s scheduled capture capability, you’ll love Panopto’s Remote Recorders. From any web browser, you can easily schedule recordings and live webcasts in advance, change video capture settings, preview video feeds, confirm audio levels, and more.
Panopto’s mobile apps for iOS and Android go beyond simple recording and playback of videos. As an admin, you can use the mobile app as a touch panel to control all of your Panopto classrooms. This unique feature, called Panopto Remote Control, puts professional-quality video recording and live streaming in the palm of your hand.
Panopto’s cloud-hosted service maintains your video server infrastructure and ensures continuous, optimal delivery. Hosted on Amazon Web Services with geographic server options both in the US and EU, Panopto Cloud is secure, scalable, mirrored for redundancy, and built to ensure uptime and reliability.
Panopto makes it easy to accomplish the most common video editing tasks from anywhere in the world using your browser. Trim unwanted parts of your video, split your videos into smaller clips, combine existing recordings, switch cameras in multi-camera recordings, sync media files and associated slide decks, embed quizzes, and more.
One of the best features of our video platform doesn’t contain a single line of code. It's our customer service team. For three years running, our support engineers have earned a 99% satisfaction rating, and they’re included standard in every Panopto implementation.
