What is ClickView Home?

ClickView Home is an online video streaming service that allows anyone
from your school to view videos that have been uploaded from your
ClickView Library Server.

ClickView Home can be easily and quickly embedded within your Learning Management System (LMS), School Intranet or a Blog. By linking video in with
your existing systems, the entire digital video library can be searched,
watched and saved by everyone with access to these portals.
Now all your videos will be available off campus over the internet.
