Kanopy FAQ
What is Kanopy?

Kanopy is a video streaming service for quality, thoughtful entertainment. Find movies, documentaries, foreign films, classic cinema, independent films and educational videos that inspire, enrich and entertain. Kanopy partners with public libraries to bring viewers an ad-free experience that can be enjoyed on a TV, mobile phones, tablets and online.

How is Kanopy free for me?
Just as your library buys books to add to its collection for you to borrow, your library offers a variety of digital resources too, including e-books, downloadable audiobooks from Overdrive/Libby and streaming video through Kanopy. Your library covers all associated costs, allowing you to watch for free with no ads.

What are play credits and how many do I receive through my library?
  • Play credits are used to play videos on Kanopy. You will receive 5 play credits per month through the Minot-Sleeper Library.
  •  Each video will use 1 play credit each with the exception of those in Kanopy Kids.
  • Kanopy Kids has unlimited plays.
  • Once you press play on a video and a play credit has been used, you will have 3 days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit.
  • Your play credits will reset back to 10 on the 1st day of each month.

Where can I go to see how many credits I have left?
