Panopto Custom Speed & Downloader - AI Notes, Flashcards & Translation users statistics

Watch Panopto past the 2x cap, download lectures, and turn any lecture into AI notes, Anki flashcards, transcripts or translation.

Panopto caps playback at 2x. This removes the cap, lets you download lectures to watch offline, and turns the lecture you just watched into notes you can actually revise from.

SPEED • Any speed from 0.25x to 4x on the slider, or type in anything up to 16x. Not just the presets. • Auto-Skip Silence cuts the dead air between sentences, so a rambling lecture finishes much sooner. • Your speed is remembered between lectures. • Picture-in-picture, so the lecture follows you to another tab.

DOWNLOAD • Save any lecture you can watch, with sound, up to 1080p, for offline revision on a train or a plane. • If the main download ever struggles on your university's Panopto, a built-in backup downloader takes a different route. • Transcripts download too.

AI STUDY TOOLS, WRITTEN BY CLAUDE OPUS • Lecture notes written by Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic's high-end model, in about a minute, with screenshots of the slides pulled in at the right moments. • Flashcards exported straight to Anki as a .apkg file. Import and revise. • Ask questions about the lecture and get answers with timestamps, so you can jump back to the moment it was explained. • Live caption translation and dubbing, for lectures that aren't in your first language.

MADE FOR HEAVY LECTURE LOADS If your course records everything and you revise from Anki, the flashcard export is the whole reason this exists: lecture in, deck out, no retyping.

If lectures aren't in your first language, the translation and dubbing turn a second listen into a first one.

HOW TO START

1. Install, then refresh your Panopto page.
2. Open any recorded lecture.
3. The speed control appears in the player's settings menu. Everything else, including downloads, is behind the extension icon in your toolbar.

FREE AND PAID Custom speed, picture-in-picture, dark mode and the time-saved leaderboard are free forever. The free plan also includes 3 lecture downloads, a free taster of Auto-Skip Silence, and limited AI notes, flashcards, chat and translation. Premium makes all of it unlimited: £3 every 2 months with a 7-day free trial, or £12 a year.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK ON YOUR UNIVERSITY'S PANOPTO, EMAIL ME AND I WILL FIX IT. I'm a student who built this for my own lectures and I reply the same day. It should work on hosted Panopto instances.

Privacy: lecture text is sent to the AI provider only when you ask for notes, flashcards, chat or translation. Nothing is recorded or sold. Full policy: https://harveychandler.dev/Panopto-Extension/panopto-privacy-policy.txt
