Faculty Guide: Embedding Library Resources

In Kanopy:

1. Log in to the database Kanopy
2. Locate the video that you would like to embed in the database.
3. Open the video by clicking on the title.
4. Click Share under the video.

5. The share options will open under the video. Click on the Copy Link button that is next to the code for "Embed this video"

6. Highlight the entire embed code and copy it.

In D2L:

1. Open your course in D2L to the place where you want to embed the video.
2. Select New and then choose Video or Audio from the drop down. The "Add Video or Audio" box will pop up.

3. Paste the embed code into the top box & enter a title for your video.

4. Click Save. (Don't worry if you see an error message in the preview spot. Sometimes this happens.)
5. The Video will appear directly in D2L.

Videos embedded into D2L will appear directly on the D2L page where they are placed. Since the video is from a library database, students will need to login to view the video from off-campus. 

The LSCS Libraries Authentication Page will appear before the video can play.

Students and faculty can use one of two methods to login:

1.  14 digit library barcode number from the back of their Lone Star College ID. (Online students can request a library barcode number through the Library Barcode Form.)
2. myLoneStar Email Address and Password

Once the students have entered the information, the video will start to play.
