HD Recording

Recordings upload and process in the background. AI transcription, indexing, and format optimization happen automatically. 


Monitor and Manage Your Remote Video Recordings

Real-Time Status Dashboard for Remote Recording Sessions

See which recordings are active, scheduled, or completed from one dashboard. Catch technical issues before they ruin an important session. Admins monitor recording status across the entire organization.

“From the beginning, we fell in love with the Remote Recorder. It really reduced the workload for the media services department. We just program in the classes, and the rooms turn on and off automatically. We don’t have to worry about anything. Panopto handles recording, streaming, uploading for us, automatically.”

Michael McCurdy, Instructional Technology Specialist, Seminole State College

Enterprise Remote Video Recording Software That Delivers

Scalable Remote Recording Infrastructure for Global Organizations

Deploy remote recording across hundreds of conference rooms, classrooms, or home offices. Centralized management means consistent settings and security policies everywhere. IT configures once, users record from anywhere.

But how can they be sure it’s working?

Adding an on-air light is an easy and affordable way to give lecturers and presenters a visual indication of whether or not Panopto is recording. If it’s green, it’s recording; if it’s yellow, it’s paused; if it’s red, something’s amiss.

Advanced Remote Video Recording Features and Capabilities

What equipment do remote recorders need to get started?

Just a computer with a webcam and microphone, or a mobile device. Panopto’s software handles the recording. No special hardware or technical expertise required.

What happens if someone’s internet drops during a remote recording?

The recording continues locally on their device. When connection restores, the video uploads automatically to your library. You won’t lose content from connectivity issues.

Can multiple people record simultaneously across different locations?

Yes. Hundreds of people can record at the same time without affecting performance. Each recording uploads to your centralized library independently.

Do remote recorders need full Panopto accounts?

It depends on your setup. You can grant recording-only permissions without giving access to the full platform. Or integrate with your SSO so everyone uses existing credentials.

How do we prevent unauthorized remote recordings?

Admins control who can schedule and initiate recordings. Set permissions by user, group, or department. Recording privileges don’t automatically come with platform access.

Can we set quality limits to manage bandwidth usage?

Yes. Configure maximum resolution and bitrate for remote recordings. Useful for teams on limited connections or when managing storage costs. Settings apply organization-wide or per user.
