How many films can I watch from Kanopy per month?
You can stream up to ten (10) titles a month. You will receive ten (10) play credits at the beginning of every month.
Why is there a monthly limit on the number of checkouts?
Kanopy works on a pay-per-checkout model, which means that the library system pays a small fee each time a title is checked out. Limiting checkouts to ten (10) per month helps us stay within our collection budget.
Do I have to return a movie once I’m finished?
No, titles will automatically expire at the end of 3 days.
What if I don't use all of my Credits?
Credits don't carry over to the next month.
How long do I get to watch a film before it automatically expires?
Three days, but you can watch a movie as many times as you want during that time. If you would like to watch the same film after the three days have passed, you will need to use up another play credit.
