Linking to Videos

To link to videos from Films on Demand:

1. Click "Share", located under the video
2. Click "Embed/Link"
3. Copy the RECORD URL. This proxy link will enable students to access the video from anywhere off-campus, provided they log-in using their name & 7 digit College ID.
4. If you're adding the link to your Blackboard site, you will want to be sure to check the box for "Have link open in a new window" to ensure that the content is not blocked.

Embedding Videos in Blackboard

To embed videos from Films on Demand directly within your Blackboard course:

1. Click "Share", located under the video
2. Click "Embed/Link"
3. Copy the EMBED CODE.
4. In the Blackboard editor, click the HTML button.
5. Paste the EMBED CODE into the form.
6. Click "Update".

Please note: it is highly recommended to also include a link to the RECORD URL with the embedded video. The link provides another access point if the student's browser or security settings block the video from displaying.
