Most streaming video vendors used by the UI Libraries work well with mobile devices. You will need an app to watch Kanopy films on your device. Follow these steps to get UI content in Kanopy. 

1. Download the Kanopy app from the Apple store, Goople Play or wherever you get apps. 

2. Create an account and connect your libraries. The Iowa City Public Library and many other public libraries also use Kanopy and may have access to other films through them.

3. From your Kanopy account page, choose My Libraries:
Kanopy account administration

4. When given the choice, select Find a University.
Kanopy library choice

5. Find and select the University of Iowa. (I find it easy to search for "Iowa".)
Kanopy find your university

6. Add your university login.
Kanopy add your university

7. Log in with your hawkid information.

8. Verify your library
