The company says - and I'm not making this up - "Hi, My Name Is Panopto".

Hi, My Name Is Panopto - Panopto

September 6, 2018

Panopto /pə-näp’-tō/

Ask anyone who’s founded a business – if you’re going to hang out your shingle, it helps to have a name to put on it. So — why “Panopto”?

Panopto derives from panoptic, “the point at which everything can be seen in one view.” Panoptic in turn comes directly from the Greek word panoptos, “seen by all”.

In video, the panoptic view is the one that allows the viewer to see everything at once.

I'd love to know the actual politics of the founders not what they say to the press. If they didn't already know - a simple google would have told them how dystopic the word. But they named their company that anyway. Learning about them is way too much bother. None them have Wikipedia pages.
