How can I use a transcript in the legacy My Media or Media Gallery player?

Captioned media files embedded in Canvas course sites from My Media or Media Gallery (Kaltura) may have transcripts available, if the person who added the media selected to embed a player with a transcript.

When a transcript is available, you can jump to a certain time in a video or audio file by searching for and selecting text in the transcript. This can help you quickly navigate to a point of interest.

You can also download and print the transcript. A transcript can be an excellent study aid, particularly if you prefer to learn by reading.
