Have your instructors try to make a persistent link to the videos in Blackboard instead of embedding them? Our faculty use the links and students off campus can access the videos without any problem. We also use ezproxy and authentication.

I've tried adding our ezproxy prefix into the embed code, which does result in the correct authentication screen appearing, but then the video doesn't display after institutional credentials are entered. Does anyone know how to make it work? Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
