Hi Eric,

When I make multilingual courses, I usually create a copy of the course in Rise and then translate the whole thing. In such a translation, there would be no reason NOT to show the subtitles automatically. The learners are not always familiar with Rise and need to be instructed to enable the subtitles.

Our solution for now is to bake the subtitles into the video, but that's extra effort from our side. It would be great if the VTT subtitles could be enforced or at least be enabled by default.
