About Kanopy

Kanopy Homepage

How does Kanopy work?

Our Kanopy subscription includes a huge variety of documentaries and films that you can watch instantly. PCC library patrons (students, staff, or community members) can view any of the films found in the database. Kanopy works on most any mobile device and TV. PCC instructors can request the Library purchase titles that are not already included in the base package.

Log In

There are two login options on the Kanopy homepage:

  • LOG IN TO PITTCC (orange button)
    Use LOG IN TO PITTCC if you want to have off-campus access and start watching videos right away.
     
  • LOG IN (top right corner)
    Use LOG IN if you want to create your own personal Kanopy account where you can save watchlists, get recommendations, etc.
