In Kanopy, look for the "Share" button to find direct links and embed codes.
Once you find the link or embed code, it might be helpful to put an 's' after the 'http' in order for the video to play more easily in Canvas. Example: https://polk.kanopystreaming.com/video/thin-ice-0 as opposed to http://polk.kanopystreaming.com/video/thin-ice-0
