I’m learning how to use the Panopto API. The trouble is that there seems to be a lot of technical resource, and a few people that seem to be a dab hand, but no middle ground.
I’m hoping to fill that gap. Any questions let me know in the comments.
In these examples I’m going to be using Visual Studio 2010 using C# as the language. I have ReSharper on my computer, just in case any of the colours or tooltips look slightly different. I’ve tried using PHP, but the ease of communicating with Panopto in C# is so large compared to PHP, I’d recommend switching.

Hi Graham, hope you are well…
We are hoping to show a ‘recording light’ and add a pause button through our crestron touch panel. Do you guys have this? The marketed lights / buttons are £100 a pop, an intergrated solution would significantly help our budget (although we will still purchase some fixed lights).
I you have 5, it would be interesting to learn how you have managed the intergration…
Hi Graham – hope you are well.
We are looking to intergrate the recording light features into our Crestron control systems. Is this something you have done? At £100 a pop, if we could reduce the number we needed to purchase this would help our budgets!
If I coulf grad 5 minutes of your time to better understand how you have managed and rolled out this intergration if would be appreciated…
Apologies if you have received this twice…
