Closed Captions Colour, Style and Position

Hello Digital Latam!

This is a feature request we've logged for our Engineering team! I don't have an update, but when I do I'll report back.

We do have community members who have created a workaround to implement this. I'll hand it over to them so they can share their brilliance! 

I'm having this problem too, so would be great to know about a workaround, thanks!

Hi Anna,

This discussion might point you in the right direction for a current workaround, though it uses Javascript, which we don't support.

We'll be sure to jump in here when we have any progress to share on this feature request!

Hi Anna, 

I also wanted to jump in and share another community workaround that I think you might find helpful here. I am hoping that more of the community can chime in to provide their insights! 

Hi Lauren, thank you, it’s great idea!!

Do you have news about the feature request to the Engineering team & also if you fond in the community members a workaround to implement it?

Thank you Vincent to sharing the community workaround info. Please, feel free to share more updates that can be helpful.

Hi everyone,

Great news!  We just released another update for Articulate 360 and included some new features a few important fixes you'll see in the release notes.

The item you'll be interested in is:

New: Make closed captions easier to read. Increase the captions font size up to 200% in the modern player.

Just launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for Storyline 360. Details here.

Please let us know if you have any questions, either here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.

I have searched through several topics here and reviewed the workarounds.  I have not found a viable solution for moving screen caption locations.  Any updates?

Hi Bob,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community!

I don't have an update at this time, but we do have this logged as a feature request! I will certainly share your comments with the team and update this discussion with any changes. I also wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.

Hello Everyone!

I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 86 (Build 3.86.32028.0).

Included in this release we have two new features:

• Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.
• 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!
