Finding Videos

Linking to Streaming Video

The Library subscribes to several streaming video packages that are accessible via Search@UW or our Find Videos guide. When linking to these streaming videos make sure to follow these three recommendations to ensure the videos play properly.
  1. Use a persistent link
  2. Make sure the proxy information is included before  the URL so that off campus users are able to view (example: https://ezproxy.uwsp.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102962&xtid=168782​)
  3. Set the link in Canvas to "open as an external resource" or in Canvas to "Load in a New Tab"
  4. For Films on Demand, use the External Tool to embed the video in Canvas.  
If you are unsure if you are using a correct link please contact the Reference Desk (715-346-2836).
