Finished your exams?...  Looking for some light relief?...  Fed up with Netflix and Amazon Prime?...  The Library can help!

We provide access to 3 great FREE video streaming platforms:

  • AVON: Academic Video Online provides unlimited access to more than 80,000 videos, including documentaries, interviews, field recordings, and films. All of the videos have closed captioning available, as well as running transcripts. Users can email videos, embed them into Canvas, and create clips.

  • Kanopy is an online streaming service for films and documentaries. Content includes popular documentaries, Oscar winners and nominees, classic films, and independent films. Swansea University users can have full access to several dozen films which the Library has purchased for teaching. These films will be displayed after you login in and can be accessed from any device including computer, IOS and Android devices.

  • Box of Broadcasts (BoB) is a huge library of over 2 million TV and radio programmes and feature films that have been broadcast by BBC, ITV, Ch4, Ch5 and over 70 other freeview channels. Create playlists to watch later or edit clips and embed in your presentations.
