Close Captions in Replay 360
How do I import a script or even write captions for video in Replay?
Hi Liz!
Thanks for writing to us!
Right now, there isn't a closed caption feature in Replay. We're tracking requests for one, so I'll share your post with my team.
A few ideas in the meantime:
- In Replay, you can use the lower third feature, which is similar to closed captions: Adding Lower Thirds
Note: The title field is limited to 200 characters, and you won't be able to turn them off. - Since you're using Articulate 360, you can import the video into Storyline 360 to use its robust closed caption feature: Importing Closed Captions for Narration and Videos
Adding another vote for closed captions in Replay 360. Thanks!
Hi Katie, just to confirm my understanding - the workaround here would be to create and edit the video in Replay, publish it, import it into Storyline, add the closed captions, then publish that project as a video file? I think that will work, but the amount of time involved makes this really cumbersome for my organization's purposes.
ETA: I see now that my understanding was incorrect. Functionally, there seems to be no way to wind up with a video file that includes captions - the only solution is a published Storyline file. There are several use cases where it would be ideal to post and share a video file rather than sending my users to the LMS, so this isn't close to an ideal solution for my needs.
In any case: +1 to the request for closed captioning in Replay. This honestly feels like it should be baseline functionality in 2023.

Hi, Elena!
Your vote has been added to the request! This request continues to be tracked and this conversation will be updated as soon as there is information available.
Thanks for reaching out!
I vote as well!
Oh my gosh - caption capability, PLEASE! A critical need.
Imagine Storyline close captioning tool in Replay 360! Please count me as a vote for yesssss!
Yes please add closed captioning option in Replay
I vote CC as well!
Is CC a feature that is already on the Replay roadmap? Would love to switch to using replay if it can support CC; lower third covers too much of the screen for some of my decks and demos. Fingers crossed it is coming soon!
