Closed Caption size and color
Hi, Is there any way to change the font size and color of the closed captions when you add them to the audio file? They are really small on the screen and people are asking for them to be larger.
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 86 (Build 3.86.32028.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can customize the foreground and background colors of closed captions to complement your course design and maintain contrast accessibility.
All you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!

Hi Bernny,
I'm glad that the latest release to increase the font size works well for you. The ability to change the Font Style is still an open feature request, but this conversation is attached to share updates with you here.
Hi Leslie - Thank you. I found I can change font style and size through the player settings when set to Modern Player. Hope it helps.
Can this be done for publishing in Video? I can't work out how to do it
Hello howard!
This isn't currently customizable when publishing to video. If that changes, I'll be sure to update you in this discussion.
