How do I locate streaming videos to play them in Zoom?

First, find a streaming video:

Start with the UNCW Library guide to streaming videos (look for the Locating Streaming Video tab). It links to a page where you can search for videos as well as view a list of UNCW Library’s streaming video databases that you may browse.
If you already know the title of a video you would like to show, you can use the library catalog and search by title to see if UNCW Library provides access to it.
Verify that the link to the video works by clicking on the View streaming video link:
If the video does not play, contact your liaison librarian and they will troubleshoot, and, if necessary, purchase the video for our collection.

Open the video in your browser (in a new window rather than a new tab).
Open Zoom for PC or Mac
- Zoom for the web (including on Chromebooks) does not provide the ability to share / play videos
- The Zoom app for tablets and phones (Android and iOS) are problematic in sharing video
Share your screen, using Zoom, choosing the browser window in which your video is open.
- See “Optimizing a shared video clip in full screen”
- See “Sharing Computer Sound During Screen Sharing”
Begin playing the video.
