How do I suggest addition of a Kanopy video that is not available?
Georgia Southern University students, faculty, and staff may suggest addition of Kanopy videos that are not currently available by completing this suggestion form.
How do I check if a Kanopy video is currently available and/or suggest that it be obtained or renewed?
To check the current availability of a Kanopy video, search for the title in GS Libraries' Kanopy collection and see if it can be played. If a Kanopy video is currently not available to view, Georgia Southern University students, faculty, and staff may suggest adding it to the GS Libraries' collection by requesting the title through the Kanopy platform or by completing this suggestion form.
Faculty are strongly encouraged to check the availability of any Kanopy videos they intend to assign for class at least one week in advance of the assignment.
What performance rights do I have and how do I add a Kanopy video in Folio?
Most Kanopy films include public performance rights (PPR). You may publicly screen films that have public performance rights, including to non-Georgia Southern community members, so long as you don't charge admission. These rights extend to the film title and to any images on the Kanopy website that you want to use to advertise the screening, so long as source credit is given to Kanopy. For high-profile group screenings, make sure you have a strong internet connection at the screening location.
Kanopy's public performance rights do not extend to virtual screenings, and Kanopy films may not be streamed via third-party conferencing programs such as Zoom; however, you may link to a Kanopy video in Folio.
If a Kanopy film includes public performance rights, you'll see a "PPR" icon next to its runtime on the film's detail page (below the Play button).
