What is Panopto?
Panopto is Conestoga's cloud-based lecture capture and video management system that allows for easy recording and reviewing of videos from courses, lectures, and presentations. Panopto integrates with Zoom and D2L to provide a user-friendly video streaming platform viewable on most web browsers and mobile devices.

- Use smart chapters and tables of contents within video
- Add closed captions and video descriptions
