Closed captions on video tutorials

Hi David; thanks for the kind words!  The video tutorials in the Getting Started with Storyline series should give you the option to select closed captioning once you start playing the video:

If you click the CC down in the lower right corner, it will initiate captions that will look like this:  

For right now, the Studio '13 Getting Started video tutorials are hosted without the ability to select closed captioning.  I'm sorry for the trouble on that.  I brought this situation up to our community teams so that they can consider making that function accessible.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi

I was wondering if there is any development on Captions available on video tutorials (as I see it was posted 4 years ago). I do hope so as many of our user will be Deaf.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for reaching out! 

May I ask which video tutorials you are referring to? The reason I ask is that for Studio 360, those video tutorials do have an option to select closed captioning: 

If there is a different video tutorial you are referring to, please let us know! 

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I cannot see how to turn the captions on these videos

I have even selected most recent webinar

Maybe it is me not selecting the Captions correctly?

Thanks

Hi Martin!

You're right, those videos and webinars don't have closed captioning options.

Not to worry, our training team will be able to provide a better option. Would you mind contacting them at training@articulate.com? 

I've already let them know that you'll be contacting them so they'll reply shortly after!

Could we please also have the option for CC to be ON from the beginning as a default option so that users have CC ON when they start and can turn it off if/when they decide  they don't need/want it on.

You can change the default value of the built-in variable Player.DisplayCaptions to TRUE. You can also add a trigger to the first slide which sets the value of the variable to TRUE when the course starts.

Thank You Joseph. Where do I find these settings?
I would like the player to just always open and start with CC ON.

Not just display the CC icon which there is a check-box for in player settings,
but have CC ON and displaying the actual captions from the get go.

Hello Jenny!

Here's the trigger you'll want to add to each slide:

Thank you everyone!
Where can I set this as a default for every slide?
