Panopto vs Videas

Train, broadcast and sell, with no quote

Capture and file, but also publish to the public, sell, and subtitle in over 100 languages, at a price you can work out yourself.

Videas and Panopto both host an organization's video. Panopto comes from education: lecture capture, search inside the spoken word, LMS integrations, all of it on quote. Videas also covers public delivery and selling, on a channel under your own brand, billed as you go from €0.20 per hour stored.

Where Panopto falls short

  • No public pricing, one quote per organization

    The price is built on user count, integrations and deployment model. Nothing is published, so nothing can be compared before a meeting.

  • Add-ons billed on top of the agreement

    AI Video Studio, Access AI, Connect and Knowledge Insights are optional modules, priced separately inside the enterprise agreement.

  • No self-serve account

    No sign-up and no public trial: the first step is a quote request, then a sales conversation and an implementation specialist.

  • Hosting is negotiated, not stated

    The infrastructure runs on AWS, with data residency options: the region your videos live in belongs to the commercial discussion.

  • A platform built for teaching

    Lecture capture, search inside the spoken word, Canvas or Moodle integrations. Publishing to the wider public or selling a catalog is not the point.

  • Automatic captions announced in 20+ languages

    That is the figure on their own pricing page. Videas Scribe covers more than 100, with correction before publishing and SRT export.

  • A rollout that is a project

    Dedicated implementation specialist, named account manager, migration support: between the decision and the first video sits a schedule.

  • A price indexed on the size of your organization

    The quote follows the size of the organization and its deployment model: a team that grows renegotiates at renewal.

Videas features available from the first euro

All included, no module to add

Hosting, media library, a channel under your own brand, live streaming with chat, AI subtitling in over 100 languages, analytics, selling outright or by subscription: nothing waits for an extra module or a contract amendment. You open an account, upload a video, and the whole product is already in your hands.

A public video channel in the organization's own colors

Publish to the public, not just internally

A channel in your colors on your own domain name, public or restricted, where content is filed by section and by series. The same videos serve internal training, the public site and, if you want it, selling outright, by rental or by subscription with payment through Stripe.

The Videas media library with folders, tags and search

Every team gets its space, and its rights

Folders, subfolders, tags, metadata search: Mediasbox keeps a catalog findable as it grows. Each department, subsidiary or partner gets its own workspace, with admin, manager and viewer roles, your organization's SSO over SAML or OpenID Connect, and analytics read per signed-in user.

The Videas media library search bar, filtered by keyword, topic and format

Your recordings moved by our team

Migration is free: you give us access to your files, and our team takes over the videos with their titles, descriptions and captions, and files them in the media library. Your current platform keeps streaming during the transfer, and a mapping table gives you the new link for every old video.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Panopto cost?

The price is not public: Panopto prices at the scale of the organization, based on user count, integrations, add-ons and deployment model, with one quote per customer. The AI Video Studio, Access AI, Connect and Knowledge Insights modules are billed on top. Read on their site on 9 November 2026.

How much does Videas cost next to Panopto?

€0.20 per hour of video stored each month, €0.02 per GB delivered with 1 TB free every month after your first top-up, €0.10 per minute of subtitles generated and €10 per channel per month. The grid is public, with a calculator on the pricing page.

Can I try without talking to sales?

Yes with Videas: you create an account, upload a video and get a link or an embed code. With Panopto the first step is a quote request; there is no self-serve sign-up.

Where are the videos hosted?

In the EU with Videas, files and viewer data included, and it is stated before you sign. Panopto runs on AWS and offers data residency options for organizations with geographic requirements: the region is settled in the contract.

Is Videas a fit for training?

Yes. A private channel where every learner has an account and sees only what you open to them, a viewing history per person, subtitles generated automatically, and separate workspaces per department or per cohort.

What about capturing lectures in a room?

Videas hosts, delivers and measures, but does not supply in-room capture hardware: you record with your own tools, then upload the file or push an RTMP stream to the live. For multi-camera capture driven by the platform, that is where Panopto was born.

How many subtitle languages?

Videas Scribe transcribes and translates in over 100 languages, with a timeline editor to correct before publishing and SRT, VTT, TXT and DOCX exports. Panopto announces automatic captions in 20+ languages on its pricing page.

Can I publish to the wider public, not only internally?

Yes. A Videas channel lives on your own domain name, in your colors, public or restricted, with a player carrying no advertising and no third-party cookie. The same videos serve internal use and the public site with no second upload.

Selling access to your videos: what does Videas offer next to Panopto?

Yes, outright, by rental, in packs or by subscription, with payment through Stripe on your own domain. The channel costs €10 a month and Videas keeps 15% of each sale, with no per-subscriber fee.

How do I migrate from another platform?

You upload your files into the media library, through the interface or the REST API, and adaptive encoding happens on upload. Help with the migration is free: write to us with the size and format of your catalog.
