Exception: Some Netflix Original educational documentaries are available for one-time educational screenings. To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit Netflix Media Center and search for the documentary by title.

Explanation: The Netflix Terms of Use specifies that the account is "for your personal and non-commercial use only." Netflix is not alone here. Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other personal streaming vendors do not grant rights for institutional or educational use.

This is important because licenses overrule copyright exemptions. Showing your personal DVD during class is covered by a specific copyright exemption (Section 110), and showing clips can be covered by fair use (Section 107). However, there is no copyright exemption for showing videos in the classroom from personal subscription video services when the license prohibits such viewing.

To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit media.netflix.com and search for the title or browse our recent and upcoming releases. Below, there is an incomplete list of documentaries that are covered by this educational screenings permission. Titles that are available for educational screening will display the following grant of permission on their details page:

Consequently, we will permit one-time educational screenings - "one-time screening" means that you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week, but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show the titles once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay.
