Videos from Alexander Street (ASV) can be integrated into Canvas courses in two ways:
To create a rich text link to a video, you will need to create a stable, proxied link to it. On an ASV video page you need to click "Share" in the top toolbar and then click the "Copy Permalink" button that will appear.

The permalink typically does not have the library proxy string attached, so you will need to add it to the beginning of the permalink: https://libproxy.umflint.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/dog?account_id=14584&usage_group_id=95891.

Besides Alexander Street Video and Kanopy, other library databases have video content that you might want to use in your class. The most consistent way to include this content is by creating stable proxied hyperlinks in rich text.
Just as with linking to textual articles or ebooks, you should look for persistent links and make sure they are proxied to ensure that students will have access no matter what their browser configurations are. See the Link to Library Texts section of this guide for information on finding and creating persistent, proxied links.
The following databases are just a couple of examples of additional databases with video content. More can be found through our A-Z Database list as well.
