How to use tickets to stream Kanopy films & TV

Tickets are used to play videos on Kanopy. Each month, you receive a set number of tickets from your library. Your tickets reset on the first day of the month, and unused tickets don't roll over to the next month.

Note: Kanopy Kids doesn't use tickets. Library card holders can access an unlimited number of Kanopy Kids titles each month.


You can see your remaining tickets for the month in the top-right corner of the homepage.

As you browse for titles, you'll see the number of tickets required to watch each title and how long you have to watch it.

For episodic titles like TV series, you'll also see what content the tickets unlock (e.g., "Season 1" or "all").

When searching for titles, you can filter your search results by the number of tickets required.
