Webster University Library offers a number of databases with streaming videos to current faculty, students, and staff. To share these videos with other current Webster members:

• Use the share feature that is available within the database (examples are below) to capture a permalink. Do not just copy and paste the URL in your browser's address bar at the top of your screen.
• If including links in a syllabus, check your links at least two weeks before they will be used to make sure they are working properly. Video availability on streaming platforms can change, so make sure the videos you are using are still available.
• Use the cite feature within the database to generate a citation for the content and include this when posting the link or embed.
• Report any problems using our eResource Issue/Problem form.

Permalinks are stable links to an individual video. They can be copied and pasted in their entirety into your syllabus, course page, etc.

Embed codes allow you to insert a video directly into your course so that students see the video in a window on your course page. While visually attractive, they do take up a lot of room on the page and may not always function well with all systems.

Like Netflix, the videos available on streaming databases can come and go. If a video you used to watch on one of our platforms is gone now, this is probably what happened to it. See Recommending video purchases to read about how you can request access to unavailable videos. 

See text directions for how to share below the image.
