Panopto is an AI-powered video learning and content management platform serving over 1,600 organisations globally, across both higher education and enterprise. Its customers include the University of Oxford, the University of Pennsylvania, Qualcomm, Boeing, and John Deere. The platform addresses two broad use cases: lecture capture and knowledge sharing in universities, and employee training in corporate settings.
At its core, Panopto is an intelligent video content management system that combines recording tools with advanced search functionality. Its search capability allows users to locate and jump to any word spoken or shown within any video - covering both speech and on-screen text. Generative AI features assist organisations in producing video content more quickly, while automatic captioning and one-touch translation support accessibility and localisation for global audiences.
The platform is built around a knowledge-management philosophy: recordings of training sessions, lectures, and seminars are stored in secure, searchable libraries, making institutional knowledge reusable and available on demand. Technical domains underlying the platform include speech-to-text, semantic and visual search, generative AI, and localisation technology.
Panopto describes its founding mission as democratising knowledge sharing through video. The company operates globally, with a customer base that spans major research universities in the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as large enterprises in technology, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
