When posting a Films on Demand link in Blackboard Learn,

1. Click on the Share icon next to the video in your list of results, or under the video on the viewing screen.
2. A form will pop up for sharing via email. Click on the Embed/Link tab at the top of the form.
3. Copy the Record URL or the LTI Link to use in Blackboard, not the URL at the top of the page. (Record URL links to the video in the database, with all database features and search options; the LTI Link will bring up just the video, with no database options).
4. Copy and paste this string BETWEEN the STLCC EZproxy prefix and the Title URL (that’s after the first ? and before the “u” in url):

auth=ezpr0xy&

Example:  http://ezproxy.stlcc.edu/login?auth=ezpr0xy&url=http://digital.films.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?aid=1990&xtid=8321&loid=17077

Tips: always choose "open in a new window" when placing links in Blackboard Learn. You can also create a user account in Films on Demand to create and store your favorites and playlists.
