Since Films on Demand is a subscription service and Kanopy films are charged to the library based on use of the individual films, we recommend first checking Films on Demand (also located on the Databases A-Z page of the library homepage) before linking to Kanopy films.
Here are instructions on how to add a video from Films on Demand to your Canvas course through a rich content editor: https://technology.uwrf.edu/TDClient/1979/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=72999
