Help with media files

To play a media object using an Internet browser:

1. Open the resource in your browser and locate the link to the media object. This may be a text link, a graphic or a button.
   When you click on the link it will either open the media object in the existing browser window or open the media object in a new browser window. The object may take some time to load before playing if you are using the resource online.
   
2. If the media object does not play automatically you will need to click on the Play button in the media object controls.
   
3. Most media objects will come with controls to let you pause, move forward and backward through the content or adjust the sound. Here are examples of the types of player controls you may encounter.
