Can end users adjust closed caption appearance?
Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to create trainings in which the learners are able to adjust the closed captions to their own needs.
That would include qualities such as font, font size, background contrast and size.
Any information is appreciated!
Thank you all

It sounds like you want to create a widget that allows the end user to adjust different caption settings. This is possible, but it requires the use of JavaScript. I remember someone asking me for a similar feature to adjust font size — either by moving a slider or pressing buttons to toggle between preset values ranging from 100% to 200%.
Attached is a simple example with slider. A similar approach could be used to create a more advanced settings panel that allows adjustments for background contrast, font color, and other display options.
Hi Nedim,
Is there any way the slider can be included in the player itself, but not on the content?
I know you can create a JavaScript video player in html5 but if I can only upload a SCORM file on the LMS, will that work?
The slider can be made to appear as though it’s part of the player by adjusting its CSS properties and moving it in the DOM outside the standard slide boundaries, but it never truly integrates as a native player component.
This discussion seems to focus on adjusting closed-caption appearance, and I’m not sure how the video player question relates to that unless I’m missing something.
That said, creating a custom HTML video player with JavaScript will work regardless. It’s independent of SCORM functionality and should behave just like the default Storyline video player.
