Hi, Wendy.

You can add captions to either video or audio on the timeline. If you insert a video, it doesn't need to have audio to let you add captions. Similarly, if you add a silent audio file, it will still allow you to add the captions.

Here's a quick workaround:

  • Click on Insert -> Audio. You can choose Text-to-Speech and type or copy/paste your text.
  • Make sure Generate Closed Captions is checked.
  • On the timeline, right-click the audio track and choose Edit Audio
  • Select the entire sound wave, then click Silence.

Let me know if this works!

Hello Diane, 

There currently isn't a way to overlay the closed captions on top of the published video output of a Storyline 360 course. You'll need to use a third-party application to join the two together. Here's a sample application that I found by doing a quick Google search, but you can also select one that better fits your preferences.
