Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kanopy?

Kanopy is the best video streaming service for quality, thoughtful entertainment. Find movies and documentaries that your lecturer has assigned, films that broaden your horizons and spark conversations, classic films that prove timeless and foreign films that show you how other people live, think and view the world we all live in. Thanks to your university library, you can watch for free with no ads, any time, anywhere on any device.

How is Kanopy free for me?

Just as your library buys books to add to their collection for you to borrow, your library offers a variety of digital resources too - Kanopy is one of their more popular digital resources. Kanopy does not charge you because University of North Texas covers all associated costs, allowing you to watch for free with no ads.

Why do I need a university login to sign up?

Kanopy is only available through libraries, so you need to be a member of a participating library to start watching Kanopy. If you are a currently registered student or faculty member of a participating university, you can start watching by signing up with a valid university login.
