Right now, there isn't a closed caption feature in Replay. We're tracking requests for one, so I'll share your post with my team.
A few ideas in the meantime:
In Replay, you can use the lower third feature, which is similar to closed captions: Adding Lower Thirds Note: The title field is limited to 200 characters, and you won't be able to turn them off.
Your vote has been added to the request! This request continues to be tracked and this conversation will be updated as soon as there is information available.
Is CC a feature that is already on the Replay roadmap? Would love to switch to using replay if it can support CC; lower third covers too much of the screen for some of my decks and demos. Fingers crossed it is coming soon!
Hi Katie, just to confirm my understanding - the workaround here would be to create and edit the video in Replay, publish it, import it into Storyline, add the closed captions, then publish that project as a video file? I think that will work, but the amount of time involved makes this really cumbersome for my organization's purposes.
ETA: I see now that my understanding was incorrect. Functionally, there seems to be no way to wind up with a video file that includes captions - the only solution is a published Storyline file. There are several use cases where it would be ideal to post and share a video file rather than sending my users to the LMS, so this isn't close to an ideal solution for my needs.
In any case: +1 to the request for closed captioning in Replay. This honestly feels like it should be baseline functionality in 2023.

Another vote for CC on Replay. Would make it much easier.
Add my vote for closed captions in Replay too please! Lower third text size is inconsistent and not accessible for many.
Please add a closed captioning feature. Something similar to Microsoft Stream would be great. The transcribe feature is great!
Closed captions are a must from a DEI point of view.
I vote as well!
I vote as well! CC would be so helpful in Replay.

Would like to vote for CC. It's such a useful thing if we are considering accessibility.
I agree, please add a closed captioning option
Another vote here for CC functionality in Replay. Accessibility is incredibly important.
I would like to see Closed Caption option added to Replay 360. This tool would be useful.
