On June 27th, Panopto is releasing an updated version (15.0). No downtime is expected with this release. Updates include:

Improved Folder Drop-down Menus and Actions: Highly used folder functions, such as Rename, Move, Share, and Delete, will be accessible in a new drop-down menu without having to open the folder’s settings. Please feel free to visit Panopto's ‘What’s New’ forum post for a full list of upcoming UI/UX changes.

Arabic language Support: Panopto has added language support for Arabic. As such, Automatic Speech Recognition, Optical Character Recognition, search, automatic captioning, and translations will support Arabic.

Accessibility Improvements: Keyboard accessibility has been improved for video and folder settings menus. ARIA labels have also been added to our embed code to ensure screen readers can announce video titles and descriptions.

Blackboard Relinking Services: LMS relinking services in Blackboard for users who need to update embedded video links or hyperlinks to Panopto links after migrating content from another VCMS platform.

A full list of the features coming in 15.0 will be shared in Panopto's release notes forum when the update is underway.
