Using the AV Player
Audio and video files will display a player instead of the image viewer.
Click the 'Play’ button in the middle of the player to start playing the content. Once the content begins playing, a control bar appears at the bottom of the player whenever a user hovers over it. Controls enable users to skip forward or backward 15 seconds, pause, adjust the volume, mute, view total duration, as well as jump to any point in the content by timestamp, turn on closed captioning (if the audio or video file has been transcribed), adjust playback quality settings (video only), or view the content in full-screen.
The arrows at the bottom right of the AV player expand or reduce its size via options to toggle to full width or half width.
