Short, practical feedback from people using Panopto Downloader in real workflows.
I lost access to an entire semester of organic chemistry lectures the day after finals. Never again. Now I download every recording the week it posts. The multi-stream option is perfect for chem demos.

Our company uses Panopto for compliance training but removes access after the enrollment period. I saved the recordings for reference and it has been invaluable for onboarding new team members.

I'm a TA and wanted offline copies of the professor's lectures to help students during office hours. The extension works with our university's SSO without any extra setup. Exactly what I needed.
