Finding Video

Our library provides a guide to finding and using video  that includes film and video clip repositories as well as instructions on how to use them in your Canvas course. 

Films on Demand is integrated into Canvas -  just click the plug icon in the Rich Content Editor to search for and embed videos that are licensed for your use.

You can also search the web or YouTube for video.   Make sure the video is captioned and the copyright allows you to use it. 

Here are some public domain video sources:

• The Internet Archive's Moving Image Archive Links to an external site. is an index of more than 1.7 million video clips.
• The Public Domain Review Links to an external site. is a website that features collections of images, books, essays, audio recordings, and films that are in the public domain.
• Flickr Links to an external site. is known for hosting images, but it also hosts video clips. Use the advanced search functions in Flickr to find video clips that have been released into the public domain and to find videos that have a Creative Commons license attached to them. Watch this video Links to an external site. to see how to find public domain videos on Flickr.
