Changing Closed Caption Size without Changing Player Font Size

I know this question sounds incredible minor and picky, but is there any way for developers to change the size of closed captions without changing the size of the player font?

  • Hi Phil!

    Great question! Right now, we don't have a built-in feature to customize the dimensions of the closed captioning box in Storyline 360!

    I can see how this customization would be helpful for authors! I'll go ahead and add your comments to our current feature report. I'll report back to this discussion when I have an update.

  • Hi Team,

    Is there any update on the customization of the Closed Captions font size available? I want to increase the closed caption font size for my project and couldn't find that option.

    Any help is appreciated :)

  • Hi Jeet,

    I'd also like to know how to adjust the size of the box for closed captions

      I would like to see that change. It would also be nice if the closed caption boxes could be resized for some slides.

    I'm also keen for an update on this. Currently having to set player font size to 130%, which makes the menu and nav buttons look pretty clunky.

  • Hi Rob and Steve,

    We now have a website where you can check out what's in the works and upcoming:

    Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap

    This conversation is attached to our current feature request we are tracking specific to requesting the ability to customize Closed Caption Font, Color, Size, and Placement. 

    I do not have an update at this time, but we will pop in and share it here when we do.

    I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful. 

  • Hello everyone,
