The library does not recommend sharing streaming video through Zoom or other video-conferencing software, as it often results in poor audio and/or video quality. In addition, some streaming platforms have copyright protections and encryption in place which disables sound or images from being shared in this manner.
We recommend either directing students to view these materials on their own outside of class, or having them play the materials on their own devices with their Zoom audio muted, then returning to the classroom meeting for discussion, etc. For library-licensed streaming video resources, you may share permalinks to the content through Canvas or in the videoconference chat to direct students to the material.
1) To find the permanent URL for a video in Academic Video Online, first look up the title you want.
(Please note: the library does not subscribe to every title in Academic Video Online, which cross-searches numerous offerings from Alexander Street Press. Please make sure we have access to the video you want to share before distributing any URLs. Videos to which we don't subscribe will have text banners indicating that a Sample is available or prompting users to Get Access.)
2) Click on the title/thumbnail of the video you want to share to be taken into the full record and select the option to Share.
3) A permalink and embed code will display at the bottom of the screen. Copy the appropriate link or code and paste or share as needed. Use of the Embed code may depend on whether your system allows iframes.
