Case Study: Saint Louis University achieves campus-wide, user-friendly lecture capture with Panopto

Switching Lecture Capture Solutions: After Piloting A Newer Low-Cost System, SLU Chooses Panopto

Saint Louis University (SLU), a 13,000‑student Jesuit institution, had long used video to extend learning but outgrew its legacy lecture capture systems. Seeking a scalable, easy-to-use solution that would work with existing classroom equipment and the LMS, SLU piloted a low‑cost platform that proved hard to use, lacking promised features and campus integrations, so the community rejected it.

SLU then piloted and chose Panopto, which provided multi‑camera capture, centralized scheduling and management, simple editing and captioning, and seamless LMS integration, backed by responsive customer support. Panopto’s migration tools and dedicated training helped move over 20 TB of recordings faster than expected, enabled a campus‑wide rollout across hundreds of classrooms, and achieved strong faculty adoption.
