Hi there Daniel, 

This one had me stumped for a bit! With some help from my team, I found there are couple of ways you can embed a YouTube video with closed captions in Rise:

  • Use an Embed URL
    Add cc_load_policy=1 to the end of the YouTube embed URL. With this option, you may need to enable the closed captions by clicking the CC icon. But once you enable them, they'll stay turned on for any video you watch until you turn it off again. Here's an example:
    https://www.youtube.com/embed/CeYrpijNVKc?cc_load_policy=1
  • Use an Embed Code
    Add &cc_load_policy=1 to the SRC url in the embed code. With this option, the closed captions will be enabled even if you've turned off closed captions in YouTube. Here's an example:
    <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CeYrpijNVKc?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&cc_load_policy=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I used both of those options in a sample Rise course here. Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out on your end!

    Hi Alyssa,

    Can you help me too? I see this was posted 4 years ago. I am trying to embed Vimeo videos using an embed code. I can't see where to add videos with code. I only see, Add blocks, video, edit video. Where is the option ?

      Hi Vanessa! Thanks for reaching out! You can add a Vimeo video under the Embed block. 

      Please click "All blocks" and on the left hand side menu > Multimedia Block > Embed Block. 

      A new sample Vimeo block will appear. Click Edit in the top right of the block, then Change Video and paste the URL of your video. Hope that helps!
