Most streaming video content is licensed with 1 or 3 year access licenses. To ensure uninterrupted access to required course viewing, we strongly recommend faculty use Media Reserves. Any film licenses scheduled to expire that have been identified on a Media Reserves request form will be flagged for renewal, otherwise the license will be allowed to lapse.
You can also find license expiration dates on your own by searching for a film in Library Search and looking for the License Expiration note in the View Online section.

Embedding film as a discussion, assignment, or even as a quiz in Canvas is a positive way to ensure your students are able to find and view your assigned films. This 11 minute video demonstrates how to embed films from Academic Video Online, Kanopy, and Swank streaming collections.
Each streaming video database is a little different but the core functionality is similar to the examples provided here. In all databases that have this level of functionality, you will need to make a personal account within the database after accessing it through the Library.
Refer to Kanopy's help page for current step-by-step instructions on how to create clips and playlists.
This two minute video demonstrates how to create, name, and annotate clips of videos the library has licensed through Alexander Street Press's video platforms. It will also show how to create direct links for clips users have made in order to share their work with students or for students to share their film analysis assignments with their professor.
This six minute video demonstrates how to log into personalized ASP accounts, multiple methods for creating playlists, and how to share playlists. Although this video was created using the old user interface, the principles and steps remain identical in the current user interface.
