Case Study: Oxford Brookes University achieves a more intuitive, accessible video learning experience with Panopto

How Oxford Brookes Switched From Mediasite to an Intuitive, Easy-to-Use Video Solution

Oxford Brookes University, a large UK institution with more than 18,000 students, needed a more modern, intuitive, cloud-based lecture capture platform than Mediasite. The university wanted easier self-service use, faster automatic saving of recordings, and a better way to support accessibility and long-term planning for video content.

Panopto was chosen after a tender process for its ease of use, non-destructive editing, strong support, and cleaner interface. Panopto helped migrate 3,451 Mediasite videos, went live for all classes in just three months, and has since supported workflows with Zoom, captions, and Moodle integration. The impact has been significant, with 1,135,498 videos viewed since 2020 and a more accessible, flexible, and efficient video learning environment for faculty and students.
