Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 86 (Build 3.86.32028.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can customize the foreground and background colors of closed captions to complement your course design and maintain contrast accessibility.
All you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!

Another vote for an update to captions to enable edits to size, font and backgrounds please. Having to import from elsewhere is time consuming.
Is there any update on the feature request to change the colors of the Closed Caption (both the letters and the background)? This request seems to be 4 yrs old, would expect this to be a built-in-feature by now.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for checking in on this! Currently, I don't have an update on the request to change the colors of closed captions. We'll be sure to update this discussion if this feature makes it to our feature roadmap. If you need assistance with your project in the meantime, please feel free to reach out here or privately in a support case!
Hi all.
Please can I make a strong request for this functionality to be implemented as soon as possible. As Chris said, this feature has been long awaited, and I can say that my team and I would have seen enormous benefits having this feature.
Sometimes, the default white font/black background does not work well at all, and I have to add manual CC entries to each slide using triggers and variables to allow me to use a better font/background colour (and sometimes partial transparency) for subtitles. Creating custom CC entries is extremely tedious and time consuming.
I do hope this feature can be implemented and offered to us soon.
Thanks in advance.
It's been 5 years since this was first suggested as an enhancement. It does seem a rather simple thing to add. Any updates from Articulate?
