Research direction
Start by locating the embedded media player and its caption controls in the Angular interface; the issue does not name a file or test. Review how the player currently enables WebVTT captions and identify where users can adjust caption appearance. Done means users can customize caption characteristics such as colors, font, size, background opacity, and font outline or border.

Description
Describe the bug
According to 301 559, Section 7.1.4: Where DSpace displays captions, "it shall provide a way for the user to adapt the displayed characteristics of captions to their individual requirements, except where the captions are displayed as unmodifiable characters." This can be done by allowing users to define the background or foreground color of subtitles, font type, size opacity of the background box of subtitles, and the contour or border of the fonts.
To Reproduce
Upload a video (mp4) to DSpace. Add a .vtt caption file (instructions on how to do this can be found on the wiki). Check the media player. Captions can now be turned on, but there are no customization options. See screenshot below.
Expected behavior
A user should be able to customize captions.
