Closed captions and videos

Apr 09, 2024

Hi all.

I did look around in the community to see if this question had been posed. It had, but some time ago. So, let me ask.

If you have a Storyline course with closed captions and you save it as a video, do the closed captions appear in the Storyline video? Meaning, do they carry over.

Or, is a course turned video just a video that requires a closed captioning tool external to Storyline?

Thanks so much.

Hi Michele,

The captions automatically get included in the published output as a standalone file, so you'll still need to enable the captions when you open the video in a media player. It's a two-step process to see the captions along with your video. The first step is to open your video using a player that supports captions, and the second step is to locate the subtitles feature and "add" the captions file in order to see the text on screen.
