Microsoft Teams & Panopto
Integration.
Panopto learning workflows embedded in Microsoft Teams
Panopto’s Team integration allows institutions to use Panopto embedded within their Teams implementation, enabling users with core Panopto functionality and enhanced workflows without ever leaving Teams.
Panopto’s robust video search capabilities are also integrated with Microsoft 365 applications via Microsoft Graph. This means that Teams users see federated search results for Panopto videos no matter where they search in Office 365. Users can search every word spoken within every video, and their videos will become discoverable alongside Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other important digital assets.
A seamless and integral part of Teams
The Panopto integration includes a host of features for Teams users, including:
- Personal Tab App for browsing. Each individual’s Panopto home page is embedded and is fully usable as a Teams Personal Tab.
- Tab App. Panopto folders and their current permissions are embedded in a Teams Channel Tab.
- Messaging Extension. Teams users can share Panopto videos within their Teams.
- Meeting Extension. Teams users can share Panopto videos within a specific Teams meeting.
- Notifications. Teams users receive Panopto alerts inside Teams.
- Graph Connector. The Panopto Index Connector now supports Microsoft Graph, so videos are fully searchable with Microsoft 365 (federated search)
- Teams Meeting Recordings Management. All meeting recordings made by Teams and other third party unified messaging apps can be managed in Panopto, inside Teams.
If a meeting’s worth holding, it’s worth holding onto.
Microsoft Teams and Panopto are better together.
Meetings are where ideas are exchanged, collaboration happens, and decisions are made. It’s why more organizations are recording internal meetings to maximize value. Employees can watch meetings they couldn’t attend. When they attend, they take a more active role without needing to take notes. Staff can get up to speed on key projects. Archived meeting videos can be reviewed for security and compliance.
Panopto picks up where Teams leaves off
Microsoft Teams enables real-time video conversations that can be recorded. After the meeting ends though, your people have to put in extra effort to find, share and watch Teams recordings. Panopto’s integration with Teams is purpose-built for the task. Its architecture handles huge amounts of video, providing essential administrative and end-user capabilities. Teams users can securely search, play, share, and manage their Panopto videos and meetings recordings without leaving Teams.

Meeting AI that does more than take notes
Meetings are dynamic, collaborative events that often include multiple people talking while sharing screens, slides, and documents all from various locations. Meeting assistants designed to take notes and provide summaries quite simply miss an abundance of information that could prove to be valuable later.
Panopto’s innovative meeting AI features work inside Teams and ensure every detail is fully preserved while presenting information in a format that makes insights easy to discover.
- Smart ChaptersView a snapshot of key moments from a meeting. Smart Chapters auto generates a table of contents for recorded meetings so viewers can navigate quickly to specific moments.
- Visual IndexDiscover information through visual thumbnails captured throughout the course of the meeting. Simply click a thumbnail to skip around to different parts of a recorded meeting.
- Smart SearchFind and instantly view relevant conversations with a simple search. Panopto transcribes words spoken and shown on-screen, so even the smallest detail can be found.
End-to-end management of Teams recordings
Offering the right level of access to meeting recordings is a big headache for organizations. Setting permissions so that recordings are useful yet secure is a real challenge. Integrating Microsoft Teams with Panopto means that all Teams recordings are set to private by default. Admins determine sharing rights based on the organization’s policies. Single Sign-On (SSO) enables employees to view secure videos using existing credentials.
Teams gives you the ability to record your meetings, but storage limits may soon run out. Panopto’s generous storage and archiving solutions mean you never have to restrict usage.
Panopto provides sophisticated retention tools that provide complete, system-wide content policies. The interface can be customized with corporate branding to blend into existing systems. Panopto integrates with lots of third party systems including Learning Management Systems, intranets, CRMs and a range of popular business tools.

Most video search systems only index the title and description of recorded meetings. This means employees waste time sifting through hours of video. Meeting recordings are soon redundant and ignored.
Panopto’s powerful inside-video search capabilities allow attendees to search for anything that anyone said during a meeting. Panopto indexes every word on screen, slides, whiteboards, and other materials. Viewers can jump to precise meeting moments, for rapid recall of important information.
In addition to full search support inside Teams, Panopto’s robust video search capabilities are also integrated with Microsoft 365 applications via Microsoft Graph. This means that Teams users see federated search results for Panopto videos no matter where they search in Office 365. Users can search every word spoken within every video, and their videos will become discoverable alongside Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other important digital assets.
A playback experience that’s as good as being there
Panopto ensures Teams recordings are ready for playback on any device. Video quality is optimized according to available bandwidth.
Panopto ensures speaker windows never obstruct what’s being shared. Users choose which stream to focus on – an experience that’s often said to be better than the live meeting!
Edit any Teams recording – no software required
Panopto empowers employees to create and edit their own videos. Simple drag and drop functionality allows users to trim, cut and publish videos. The editor also allows creators to insert video clips. Edited material is always available if the user wants to re-edit the recording.
In training scenarios, quizzes can be added, with results routed back to your LMS. All within a sophisticated, browser-based system with nothing to install.
