Panopto accessibility statement
Welcome, this is an accessibility description issued by the Tampere Universities community
This accessibility description concerns the service https://panopto.tuni.fi/ and it has been drafted / updated on 8 October 2020. The service is governed by the Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which requires that the digital services of public authorities must be accessible.
We have assessed the accessibility of the service ourselves.

2. Disproportionate burden
Subtitling videos or producing text responses to videos requires an unreasonable amount of work. Tampere Universities produce a lot of videos annually, and all of them cannot be subtitled because that would place a disproportionate burden on the community. As automatic subtitling systems evolve, we will be able to offer more videos with subtitles. For the time being, automatic subtitling tools do not meet the quality requirements we have set for our content.
1. The following do not fall within the scope of legislation
- content to be used temporarily in a limited group for teaching
- content published by users or other third parties which is not produced, funded or controlled by the service provider
- live video or audio broadcasts that are not recorded for storage or republication
- video or audio recordings published before 23 September 2020
The service contains videos that are mainly intended for educational use for a limited group for a limited period. In addition, the service contains videos produced by students as course assignments. Videos for public distribution and long-term use will be subtitled where possible.
