NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS

When you log on to Films On Demand, you will notice a few modifications to the top navigation that provide additional details and school branding at a glance. The total number of titles and segments in your school’s account now displays directly above the search box, which is now located in the top portion of the header, and your school’s name or logo will be shown directly to the right. If you’d like to add your school or library logo, please contact your sales rep for assistance. Click below for helpful articles from the updated Films On Demand Support Center: |

NEW VIDEO PLAYER
|
|
Our convenient segments and cross-searchable, interactive transcripts already offer users helpful ways to find exactly the content they are looking for within a video title—and now viewers have a handy visual preview at their fingertips as well. The new HTML5 version of the video player provides a quick preview feature that lets users “scrub” through the video and see images from different parts of the title—a great way to find, or get back to, a specific point in the video. The new player also improves mobile access, expanding the ability to seamlessly view videos on mobile devices.
