Using tickets

Note: This article is for patrons who use Kanopy with a public library.

Tickets are used to play videos on Kanopy. Each month, you receive a set number of tickets from your library. Your tickets reset on the first day of the month, and unused tickets don't roll over to the next month.

You can see your remaining tickets for the month in the top-right corner of the homepage.

As you browse for titles, you'll see the number of tickets required to watch each title and how long you have to watch it.
