Streaming Video Collections: Canvas

Library Film Databases

Canvas and Streaming Videos

Due to licensing restriction, films must be limited to students in your class so links should NOT be posted on web pages or other publicly accessible platforms.

We recommend that you provide the direct link to your students in Canvas. The direct link will take them to the database platform where it will play with less chance of problems. If you embed the film in Canvas or show it through Zoom, the quality may not be as clear and there could be glitches while the film is streaming.

When you click on film titles, you will see a link to "SHARE" which allows you to copy a direct link to the film to share with your students. After copying a film link, input the title of the film on a Canvas page, highlight the title, then insert the link using the tool below. Students will then go directly to the streaming video database and view the film on the database platform.
