User reviews
works great! like previous reviewer said, you need to press the folder icon at the top of the panopto page then press the extension once you're on that page and it will work.

Works as intended. It would be nice to have a settings page where I can specify download folders, naming conventions, download quality, etc.

Go to the file folder and then click on the extension. If you click it on the video page, it returns a blank white box.
