Sharing film links

To share a link to a film, go to the title's details page. Then:

  • In the Kanopy mobile app, tap Share to share the link using your device's share options.
  • On the Kanopy website, select the Share tab. You'll see several options for sharing the video.
    • Link: Copies a link to the title details page. Select Copy Link to copy the link to your clipboard, or select an "Email & Social Media" option to share the link that way.
    • Embed This Video: Generates a link for embedding a video on another website where HTML is supported (e.g., a personal website or a learning management system). Select Copy Link to copy the link to your clipboard. To watch the embedded video, the viewer will need to enter their Kanopy credentials for your library or institution.
      Note: If you use Kanopy with a public library, watching a film through an embedded link uses the normal number of tickets.
    • Citation Tool: Creates citations in various formats. Select your preferred citation style, then select Copy Text to copy the citation to your clipboard.
