Advantages of a FOD Account

Many of the advanced features included with Films on Demand require creating a FOD account. Creating an account is simple and just requires your first and last name, email, and a password of your choice. The account allows you to favorite videos, as well as create playlists, folders, and customized segments/clips.

Linking to Videos

Linking directly to a Films on Demand video is easy! When you find a video you want to share, simply click Share , then select Embed/Link from the resulting overlay. The Record URL link is already formatted to work both on and off campus.

Films on Demand Record URL

If the video you want to share contains Segments (at right) and you want to direct students to a specific one, click on the desired Segment and "Share," then select the Segment URL from the resulting overlay. Simply copy and share that instead!

You can also create your own Custom Segments. This feature requires a Films on Demand account. Custom Segments can be linked to directly, used in Playlists and embedded.
