OverviewLearn how to search the video library for a video and search inside a video. Panopto makes finding content easy by making all video content searchable including words spoken, words shown on screen, and words shown in slides. To learn more about how Panopto's video search works, please see Learn About Smart Search.
Prerequisites

- Search the Library or a Folder
Search for a keyword in the search bar at the top of the page. If you are in the Home or Everything area, the entire library will be searched. If you are in a folder, just that folder of videos will be searched (Fig. 1).

- You will see videos where the word you searched appears in the title. But you will also see results if the word was spoken, shown on screen, or shown in slides in a video (Fig. 3). You will see where in the video the word appears by looking in the search results below the video title.

To the left of the search result is a small icon indicating how the keyword was conveyed. These icons represent when the keyword was conveyed through Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), transcription, or a caption; Optical Character Recognition (OCR); slide content; discussion post or comment; notes; bookmarks; and Audio Descriptions (Fig. 8). Note: ASR identifies words spoken in the video and OCR identifies words that appear in the video. To search the video's Audio Descriptions, the video must have been created or edited after March 25, 2022
