Panopto Video Cloud Platform
Store and protect your organization’s online video library in the cloud, while still making it easy for the right people to access internal videos.
Secure Cloud Video Storage
Employees upload internal videos to YouTube or Dropbox because they need somewhere to share them. It’s rarely intentional. They just don’t have a better option.
Panopto gives them that better option. Your team can upload, record, and share videos within a secure platform built for business content. Set viewing permissions at the library, folder, or individual video level. Integration with your SSO system means employees use their existing credentials. No one accidentally shares confidential recordings with the wrong people.
Store sensitive video content with enterprise-grade security
Your video library gets the same security standards as your most critical business systems. Encryption protects content during upload, storage, and playback. Access controls ensure only authorized users see sensitive recordings.
Scalable Cloud Video Infrastructure for Seamless Growth
Redundant cloud storage and failover systems protect your video library from data loss. Power outages, hardware failures, and server crashes don’t interrupt recording or playback.
Thomas Jefferson University proved this during midterms when their campus server failed. Panopto kept recording lectures. Students still accessed all their study materials. The outage happened, but learning didn’t stop.
Elastic architecture handles usage spikes and future expansion effortlessly
Start with hundreds of videos and scale to hundreds of thousands. Panopto’s cloud infrastructure grows with your organization. Peak usage times don’t slow down playback or uploads.
Reliable Playback on Any Device, Any Network
Optimize viewer experience with smart delivery across mobile, desktop, and low bandwidth
Videos play smoothly whether someone’s watching on their phone during a commute or desktop at the office. Panopto automatically adjusts quality based on device and connection. Viewers get the best experience possible without buffering.
Efficient Streaming with Intelligent Video Playback
Built from the ground up on modern streaming protocols, Panopto enables more efficient, scalable, and affordable video content delivery across your network and online.
Adaptive bitrate streaming delivers smooth playback across devices and networks
Slow Wi-Fi at a coffee shop? The video adjusts quality automatically to keep playing. Strong office connection? You get full HD. Streaming adapts in real-time so playback never stops.
Global Video Delivery You Can Count On
Whenever a technology requires specialized support, risk increases. When working with video, overlay networks, custom protocols, and specialized servers required for previous streaming solutions left organizations with fragile, expert-dependent systems.
HLS streaming reduces that complexity, enabling organizations to consolidate video network traffic to HTTP using TCP ports 80 and 443. It lowers costs, eliminating the need to deploy and manage separate caching infrastructures and overlay networks. And the ubiquity of HTTP servers and caching proxies makes scalability an inherent feature of the underlying network.
Additionally, HLS video streaming helps ensure compatibility and optimal playback experiences for a wide range of viewer devices and connections.
Regional cloud nodes reduce latency and improve stream quality worldwide
The Enterprise Streaming Platform That Just Works
Your London team doesn’t stream from servers in California. Panopto delivers content from locations closer to viewers. Less distance means faster load times and smoother playback.
Deliver Video Content More Efficiently with Cloud-Based HLS
RTMP remains one of the most popular protocols for converting video feeds from cameras into media formats suitable for live streaming. You can connect your RTMP encoders to Panopto to broadcast events live to thousands of simultaneous viewers.
Panopto converts the RTMP feed to HLS as it’s ingested. Integrations with enterprise content delivery networks (ECDNs) and WAN optimization solutions minimize video startup time and buffering of the live feed. And with live DVR, viewers who join late never have to miss a moment of the webcast.
Panopto’s modern media pipeline ensures faster startup, smoother playback, and scalable video distribution
Videos start playing in seconds, not minutes. Optimized encoding and delivery mean less waiting for content to buffer. Users click play and actually start watching.
Stream Live Events at Scale with RTMP and Panopto
Panopto integrates with your WANop and ECDN investments. Whether you already have WAN optimization infrastructure or are looking for new ways to improve the efficiency of video streaming on your network, Panopto has you covered.
Connect your RTMP encoders and deliver smooth, DVR-enabled broadcasts via adaptive HLS streaming
Use your existing broadcast equipment with Panopto’s live streaming. Connect hardware encoders via RTMP and stream to thousands of viewers simultaneously. No need to replace gear you already own.
Flexible Video Streaming That Works with Your Existing Network

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are my videos physically stored?
Panopto uses redundant cloud infrastructure with multiple data centers. Your content is replicated across locations for backup protection. You can choose specific geographic regions based on compliance requirements.
What happens if Panopto experiences a service outage?
Redundant systems keep recordings running even during outages. If one server fails, your content automatically routes to backup systems. Users typically don’t notice interruptions.
Can we use a mix of cloud and on-premises storage?
Yes. Panopto offers hybrid deployment options. Store sensitive content on your own servers while using cloud infrastructure for general content. You control where different video types live.
Is there a storage limit for our video library?
Storage scales with your subscription. Most organizations start with terabytes of space and add more as needed. You won’t hit artificial caps that force you to delete content.
What security certifications does Panopto meet?
Panopto is SOC 2 compliant and meets GDPR requirements. The platform includes encryption at rest and in transit. Security standards match what enterprises expect from critical business systems.
Can employees accidentally delete important videos permanently?
Admins control who has deletion permissions. Deleted content can go to a recycle bin for recovery. Set retention policies to prevent accidental loss of critical recordings.
