Faculty Instructions for Films on Demand

Faculty have several options for putting Films on Demand videos into their Canvas courses.

• For entire videos or segments, the easiest method is to use the external tool/apps options to embed the video (see instructions below). 
• Faculty can also use Films on Demand links for playlists.

To organize your videos into playlists and favorites folders, follow the instructions in our guide: Faculty Instructions for Films on Demand.

Note: Embed codes do not work inside PowerPoint, link to videos instead.  When watching videos, you will see transcripts next to the video and links to any segments on the right side.  You can link to entire videos, choose specific segments, or use the snip button to create custom segments.
