How can I use a transcript in Media Gallery?
In My Media or Media Gallery, videos and audio files with closed captions include transcripts. Captioned media files embedded in pages in Canvas may also have transcripts available, if the person who added the media selected to use 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.
Note:
- Content owners can add closed captions by following the steps in How do I automatically generate and edit captions in My Media?
- Video quizzes do not display a transcript. A video quiz will pause automatically at each question that students must answer and may not allow skipping. For more information, see What is a video quiz, and how can I use it?
Go to My Media or Media Gallery.
- To go to My Media: Select My Media from your Global Navigation Menu.

In Media Gallery, access the Media tab.
