Recently Released features

New Mobile apps — Earlier this month, we released completely new apps for iOS and Android, giving users a modern, fast, and intuitive way to discover and watch relevant content from your organization’s video library right on their mobile devices. The new apps support offline videos, personalized home screen, a comprehensive search experience, and ability to upload or record new videos using their phone’s camera. The new apps are available in the iOS and Android app stores.
Javascript Embed APIs — Developers can now embed and control Panopto videos on external websites using Javascript. The new Javascript Embed APIs provide a comprehensive set of capabilities to allow you to not only control playback, but also create interactive capabilities on top of Panopto’s embed viewer, enabling scenarios like custom quizzing applications or conditional branching within the video. The API documentation, including sample code, can be found here.
Multi-language Captions — Earlier this year, we introduced language-specific caption tracks, allowing users to upload caption files for multiple languages on the captions settings modal for any video. Both the interactive and embedded players automatically display captions in the user’s current browser language and make it easy for users to switch which language’s captions are displayed.

Beta Features

The release on June 27th will also make several new features available for beta testing. These features are not yet ready for production use, but your feedback will help us refine them for release later this year. Please give these features a try and let us know what you think.

Custom Roles (beta) — Custom roles give administrators finer control over user permissions. Administrators will be able to modify built-in roles and create new roles that fit the unique permission and workflow needs of the organization. For example, you can create a custom role that allows a data analyst to view Panopto analytics dashboards and reports without the ability to view, edit, or delete sessions.
Smart Chapters (beta) — Panopto’s innovative new Smart Chapters feature uses artificial intelligence to automatically generate a table of contents for any video with a screen capture. Smart Chapters is designed to work for videos recorded by Panopto Capture or from other sources where Powerpoint or Keynote slides are not available. When enabled as “available on-demand,” users can choose to import Smart Chapters within Panopto’s editor interface.
