Adjusting the width of closed captions

Hi Everyone,

I would like to customize my closed captions. I want to reduce the width of the captions field. Is there a way to do this? I saw some closed conversations and I found some instructions on using Javascript but I can't get it to work. 

Thanks!

 

  • Hi Jodi,

    Try using this script to modify the width of the caption div. By default, it's set to 60%, which is currently what you have in your project. You can decrease this percentage as needed.

    const addCss = css => document.head.appendChild(document.createElement("style")).innerHTML=css;
    addCss(".view-desktop .caption, .theme-unified .caption {width:60%;}");

      Thank you, Nedim. It worked perfectly. I adjusted the width down a little more to fit my concept. I'm doing this for a demo that I'll post next week. I appreciate your help!
