Trailers Now on Kanopy

Submitted by kristine.magers on Mon, 03/22/2021 - 15:09

Trailers are now available on some titles in Kanopy.

Before a customer uses up one of their play credits starting a video they may not know much about, they can look for the Trailer button ​to watch a preview without having to leave the Kanopy site.

  • Trailers are currently only available on the web platform. They plan to roll out trailers in the Kanopy app and other platforms in the future.
  • Not all videos have trailers at the moment. Kanopy opted to have trailers added now for their top videos and are adding more throughout the year.
  • Videos without trailers will not display the trailer button.
  • They are providing trailers through YouTube which may show ads. Kanopy staff are checking trailers to make sure they're appropriate for each video, but there is a Report button if you notice anything off.
  • Playing a trailer does not use up a play credit.

More information and a quick video about this feature is available on the Kanopy support page [1].
