Q: How do I Embed or Link to a Video in My Canvas Course?
Last Updated: Mar 20, 2020     Views: 186

Academic Video Online (Alexander Street Press):

To link to a video that you have found, click Share at the top and it will take you to a link or embed option.  The link includes our EZProxy routing.  Here is an example of what that will look like:


Kanopy (Kanopy):

In Kanopy you can add the EZProxy stanza to the URL for the film. 

For example, I want to watch Mid90s:

https://hws.kanopy.com/video/mid90s

so I will need this link:  https://ezproxy.hws.edu/login?url=https://hws.kanopy.com/video/mid90s

You can also embed the film directly and even position it to play at a certain section.
