The Kurt R. Schmeller Library at Queensborough Community College has several streaming video options available for students and faculty. Faculty can embed video into their Blackboard pages, as well, as share URLs of films with students. They may also create playlists and edit content to fit the confines of their courses.
Instructors:

We have access to 30 films a year. Content is limited, but if it is very popular, or current, this database is your best bet. Please check to see if it
is available on Academic Video Online or Kanopy, or Youtube, before requesting film.
In early 2022, your library or school’s Kanopy website was upgraded to a new design. This new web experience is more intuitive, responsive, and user-centered than ever before.
Our website design improvements make it easier to find films you'll love, organize your favorites, and start watching sooner. We've also worked behind the scenes to improve overall site performance in order to create a film-viewing experience that's faster and more reliable.
Here’s an overview of the updates on your Kanopy website.
Note: These changes affect only the Kanopy website, not the Kanopy mobile or TV apps.
The top navigation bar of your library’s Kanopy website has been redesigned for simpler browsing, searching, and account management.
Kanopy’s new search is now faster and more accurate. Find the perfect film with easy-to-use filters and sorting.
A simplified Browse menu lets you pick from currently featured categories and genres.
Find titles that you’ve started watching on your new Continue Watching shelf, located both on the homepage and on the My Lists page. My Lists also includes your watchlist and custom playlists.
There are a few ways to find films on Kanopy:
