The streaming videos in the Library’s databases are licensed for instructional purposes in a classroom setting. The following collections also include public performance rights (PPR), meaning the films can be displayed on campus to the public so long as the screening is free. The screening need not be for instructional purposes. For example, it is permissible for a student club or other college organization to host a screening of a film with PPR.
Academic Video Online
Academic Video Online allows public performances as long as no admission is charged. See Academic Video Limited Public Performance Rights.
EXCEPTION: Film Platform videos do not include PPR. To determine if an individual film is copyrighted by Film Platform:
- Click see full details on the video screen.
- Check the copyright notice.
Docuseek
Docuseek allows public performances as long no admission is charged and there is no advertising outside the learning community. See Docuseek’s Terms of Use.
Films on Demand
Films on Demand allows public performances as long as no admission is charged. See Films on Demand’s Terms of Use.
Kanopy

To determine whether an individual film includes PPR or limit your search to PPR films only, see Finding Films with Public Performance Rights (PPR).
Commercial sites such as Amazon Prime, Disney+, Google Play, HBO, Hulu, iTunes, or Netflix license their content for personal use, not educational use. All subscribers must agree to this restriction when creating an account. Because of this, a faculty member may not stream a video from their own subscription in a classroom without permission.
EXCEPTION: Netflix permits one-time educational screenings of some its documentaries. For more information and to learn whether a film qualifies for this one-time screening, see Netflix Educational Screenings of Documentaries.
In addition, some Netflix films are freely available on YouTube: Educational Documentaries: Netflix.
