Kanopy Changes Starting November 1, 2023

Kanopy is making it easier than ever to stream videoWhat's Changing?

Starting November 1, 2023, Kanopy is replacing play credits with a ticket system. Instead of 8 play credits per month, you'll get 24 tickets each month in your Kanopy account - available free with your Marin County Free Library card!

With this update, you can easily see the number of tickets required and viewing period for each film next to the play button. 


As you browse for titles, you'll see the number of tickets required to watch each title and how long you have to watch it.


For episodic titles, like TV series and The Great Courses, you'll also see what content the tickets unlock (e.g., "Season 1" or "all").


You can see your remaining tickets for the month in the top-right corner of the homepage.


You'll get new tickets each month. Tickets do not roll over from month to month.
