Panopto

Panopto is, first, foremost, and almost entirely, a lecture capture tool with an unlimited mediaÌýrepository. It enables faculty to create pre-recorded lecture materials, or to capture live lectureÌývia an integration with Zoom Cloud Recordings. As it is software-based, the recording softwareÌýcan be accessed or installed on any computer, personal or jmcomicÂþ»­N-provided. Videos automaticallyÌýenter the media repository for management, and an integration with Canvas means videos canÌýbe pushed into courses. Materials can also be recorded directly from Canvas and willÌýautomatically appear in that course’s catalog.Ìý

Panopto does not adequately support live streaming of its recordings, and should not beÌýconsidered for this purpose.

Panopto auto-captions videos that do notÌýalready have them, which makes all videos fullyÌýsearchable by keyword.

Zoom

Zoom is for video conferencing and, therefore, live, synchronous meetings. It is useful for synchronousÌýclasses. It does have a recording feature and can therefore be an effectiveÌýif at times clumsy way ofÌýdoing lecture capture.Ìý

Ìýare auto-captioned by Zoom afterÌýthe recording is complete and uploaded. Zoom does not offer live captioning or transcription at this time.Ìý

Panopto-Zoom Integration

If a Zoom meeting isÌý, there is an integration between it and Panopto. The Zoom Cloud recording will be automatically imported into Panopto forÌýfurther manipulation.

Our recommendation is that if is a synchronous, live session, then use Zoom to record. If it is pre-recorded and meant for consumption later, use Panopto. In either case, all media ends up in Panopto which can then be pushed to Canvas.
