Turn face-to-face lessons into fully interactive virtual classrooms
Deliver lessons with live webcasting on various device
Panopto gives you the flexibility to record any combination of video sources in full HD from anywhere. The platform automatically recognizes connected cameras and microphones, making recording effortless. Stream classes live or capture sessions for on-demand playback, giving distance learners access to everything they’d see in a physical classroom: instructor video, screen shares, slides, whiteboards, and document cameras.
Students control their own learning experience. They can toggle between video feeds, turn captions on or off, and adjust playback speed. This interactive approach helps improve student outcomes for both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Boost learning outcomes with interactive video tools
Panopto automates workflows and simplifies the delivery of hybrid learning courses.
Students increasingly rely on virtual learning through platforms like Zoom, Webex, and Teams. However, synchronous classes alone don’t fully replace in-person instruction, and many students can’t attend every live session.
“Panopto has given our students and faculty the ability to use video technology much more easily than they ever could before, and that really enhances the teaching and learning process.”
Jeana Rogers, Specialist, Butler University Center for Academic Technology
