is there a way to increase the font size of closed captions? The import went well, the timing is perfect and the position of closed captions box works just fine, but the font size seems pretty small. Changing or creating theme font doesn't effect the closed captions. So... I am stuck (for the moment)
I have the same problem with closed captions/subtitle font being too small. Increasing the font size of all the player is not a good solution. Please implement this feature rather than new components.
I'm sorry that I don't have an update to share for more customization options for Closed Captions as of yet. We're closely tracking requests, so I'll make sure our report is updated with your voice.
We're still on a journey to give all learners the best experience. Explore our public roadmap to learn which accessibility enhancements we're working on next:
Hi Matthew, thanks so much for sharing your workaround! I've used it on a past project and it worked great! However, my current project is using the new 'Modern' player in Storyline 360 and the workaround no longer seems to work with this player. The Modern player only runs in HTML5, and I notice there is no longer a story_html.html file in the output. Would I need to do something different to get your workaround to work with the new player?
Hi there! Has anyone else experienced the issue of Matthew Bibby's javascript hack not working with the new modern player in Storyline 360, or is it just me?
Hi Matthew, that code works perfectly with the new Modern player in Storyline 360! Thank you so much for figuring this out, and for all the work that you have done to devise workarounds for this community. I am so grateful! :)

Hello, just checking in -- is this feature still being worked on? The current size options doesn't meet accessibility requirements.
Hi! Checking in to see if there has been any movement on this? Our client is adamant that the captioning be larger for accessibility.

Thanks for this Kuriko and Matthew! I am also using the Modern Player. Where do you add this code?
Perfect, thank you, Matthew!
