Accessing the Transcript Editor

Body

 

Edit Transcript is an option in the Media Tile menu on your Library page, as shown in the below figure.

The Transcript editor can be accessed either from the Media tile menu or from the Media Details page from either your Library or from any Collection where you have edit transcript permissions. If system and course settings allow it, it may also be accessible from the Class list by clicking the video icon.
