New Ways to Find, Study and Use Knowledge Captured in Video

For more than 20 years, Panopto has helped universities and organizations capture expertise and make it available to more people than could fit in a classroom, lecture hall or training room. Video libraries keep growing, and generative AI has raised the bar for how quickly people expect to get answers, especially ones that they trust. Panopto is building on that foundation to make the knowledge already captured easier to find, learn from and apply, while preserving the trust and source context organizations need.

Panopto’s recent research underscores the challenge across both learning and work. Its The Next Era of Video-Based Learning report found that while 77% of students say video-based learning saves them at least an hour of study time each week, 38% still struggle to locate a particular topic inside a recording. The challenge extends into the workplace: 68% of L&D and training leaders report that most of their recorded video training is not searchable, while 51% say employees struggle because content is spread across too many systems and they aren’t sure where to look.

"For two decades, Panopto has helped institutions capture great teaching, training and expertise and make it available to more people," said Stephen Laster, CEO of Panopto. "What changes now is how much more people can do with that knowledge. They can find the answer they need immediately, learn from it and put it to use. AI makes new experiences possible, but the technology itself is not the outcome. The outcome is helping a student understand a difficult concept, helping an employee solve a problem without interrupting an expert or bringing trusted organizational knowledge into the tools people already use every day."
