University of Houston Libraries provides a streaming video service to UH faculty and others who want to incorporate more digital scholarly resources in the curriculum.

Kanopy

Kanopy is a streaming video resource offering a collection of over 21,000 documentaries and movies on a broad range of subjects, and from leading producers such as Criterion Collection, The Great Courses, New Day Films, HBO California Newsreel, and more. Kanopy makes it easy to watch, share and discuss videos both in and out of the classroom.

The streaming video service offers greater flexibility in academics and research. Faculty have the option of embedding video links within Blackboard, and students benefit from the ability to access educational materials instantly from any location.
