How do I view captions in a video in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
Some videos within Canvas may contain closed captioning. You can enable captions in the video options menu.
Note: If you view a video in a Canvas app, iOS devices can display captions created with WebVTT files. If you cannot view video captions in an iOS device, the caption type is not supported.

Embedded videos display directly in Canvas.
Note: Videos that are embedded as extra large size or larger with captions display a Captions icon.

To view the video captions, click the Settings icon [1] then select the Captions link [2]. To view captions in an offered language, click the language name [3].

When closed captioning is enabled, you can view the captions as the video plays.
