Hi there William, I'm glad to hear you're checking out the improved Closed Captioning feature! The size and position of the captions is set by default. Can you tell me more about the customization options you'd like to see?
Thanks - it would be nice to have an option to move the captions to different locations on the slide as well as resizing to go across the entire slide if need be so less lines of text are needed.
agreed. Sometimes, the captions cover up something important on the screen that I can't necessarily move. If you ever turn on the captioning on your TV or Netflix, you can see that they move around the screen so as not to block an important visual.
may be an optional device setting. Currently on a rewatch of a favorite series to follow along with a weekly podcast. I've seen the serious *cough*a lot of times*cough* already, so watching it with captions on to catch some dialog particulars and when I do, the captions are not always in a box at the bottom of the screen, they move around. Usually if more than one character is on the screen at a time, it is done to indicate which character the dialog is coming from.

I hear you, William. Thanks for that feedback! I'll be sure to pass it along to my team. 😁

Interesting comment Matt - I use TV and Netflix captions and have never seen the positioning move.
