You can interface with Panopto through the use of key combinations.

Mac OS

The use of hotkeys is toggle-based. Pressing the intended key-combination together the first time will initiate that change, while repeating the key-combination once again will initiate the change back to its original state.

More information on using this, along with using Panopto Recorder on the Mac OS platform, have a look here. The most common use of hotkeys is the Starting, Stopping, and Pausing events. Section 5, from the above link, speaks to how those will work.

Additional documentation can be found here.
