How to Find and Stream Videos on FMS Productions

FMS Productions is a 100% streaming video service focused on educational and treatment titles, in operation since 1976. To find and watch a video, you search or browse the catalog, add the title to your cart, and complete the account and checkout flow — there is no physical media option, so every title is delivered as a stream. The steps below cover what each part of that flow does and where people commonly get stuck.

Searching for a specific title

The site provides a search function, which is the fastest route when you already know what you want.

1. Enter the title (or a distinctive word from it) into the search field.
2. Submit the search and review the results list.
3. Open the title you want to confirm it matches the subject and audience you need.

If a search returns nothing, try a shorter or more general term. Educational catalogs often title a series and its individual programs differently, so searching the broad subject rather than the exact program name can surface the right entry.

Browsing the catalog by subject or audience

When you don't have a title in mind, browsing is the better approach. Educational and treatment catalogs are typically organized so that you can narrow by the topic being taught or the group being addressed — for example, a subject area such as addiction or mental health, or an audience such as clients, students, or staff.

A practical browsing sequence:

• Start from the catalog or category listing rather than search.
• Narrow by subject first, then by audience if that option is available.
• Open individual titles to read the description before deciding.

This matters because two videos on the same subject can be written for very different viewers, and the description is where that distinction usually shows up.

Account and cart: how access actually works

The site exposes an Account area and a shopping cart, and the cart displays a "Your cart is empty" state when nothing has been added. That tells you the intended flow is: select a title, place it in the cart, then sign in or create an account to complete the transaction.

Because the cart and account are separate from the catalog, you can browse and evaluate freely before committing to anything. If you reach the cart and it still reads empty, the title was not added — go back to the title page and add it again.

What "100% streaming" means for you

FMS Productions states it is 100% streaming. In practice this means:

• No physical shipment. You are not waiting on a disc or package; access is delivered digitally.
• You need a reliable connection and a capable device. Playback depends on your bandwidth and browser or player, not on media you hold.
• Access is tied to your account. Since there is no physical copy, what you can watch is determined by what your account is entitled to, so keep your login details secure.

If you are planning to use a title in a group setting — a classroom, a treatment session, or a staff training — confirm before purchase that your intended viewing setup (projector, shared screen, number of simultaneous viewers) fits how the streaming access works. That is the single most common mismatch with streaming-only catalogs.

Common snags and how to get past them

• Search returns nothing useful. Switch to browsing by subject instead of guessing at titles.
• Cart appears empty after adding a title. Return to the title page and add it again; the cart only reflects confirmed additions.
• You can't tell which video fits your audience. Read the full description on the title page rather than relying on the title alone.
• You're unsure whether streaming suits your use case. Decide this before checkout, since there is no physical alternative to fall back on.

Quick decision guide

• You know the title → use search.
• You know the topic but not the title → browse by subject, then audience.
• You're evaluating before buying → use the cart as a holding area and read descriptions first.
• You need something to hand out or ship → this service won't fit; it is streaming only.
