  1. After opening the Media Library you should see a collection of all content related to the course. There should be a playlist for Online Movies.

  1. Selecting the Online Movies playlist will open the player and allow you to select a video from the drop down menu. If none are selected, the player will begin the first film on the list and continue to autoplay unless manually stopped.

The playlist may preset videos available from other sites such as Kanopy. users have the option to watch them within the Panopto window or can redirect to the external website.

  1. Select the movie you want to watch and it will begin playing in the player window.

While viewing you will have options to:
