How do I add captions to new or uploaded videos in the Rich Content Editor in Canvas as an instructor?
You can easily create and upload caption files when you add video content in the Rich Content Editor. The Rich Content Editor is used in features that support the editor (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, or Syllabus).
This lesson only applies to creating captions for videos created or uploaded into Canvas. If you've created a video outside of Canvas that you want to include in your course, learn how to create captions for external videos.
If you have not yet created or uploaded your video, learn how to record a new video or upload an existing video.
Note: Users can view video captions in the Canvas by Instructure mobile app. However, iOS devices can only display captions in WebVTT format. If you use another format besides WebVTT, users on iOS devices will not be able to display the video captions.

How do I view captions in a video in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
Some videos within Canvas may contain closed-captioned files. You can view the captions in the closed-captioning menu.
Note: If you view a video in the Canvas by Instructure 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.
