• Netflix "...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 you may show the titles once a semester over multiple semesters.
• The University of Michigan summarizes information about streaming from HBO, Disney+, etc.
• Netflix, Disney, HBO, and other mainstream entertainment streaming services do not offer subscriptions to libraries.
