Custom Closed Captions Button
We are using a custom player with on-screen previous/next buttons, menu etc. but want to enable closed captions in some screen recordings.
Is there any way to turn captions on/off using a button on the slide itself? I guess what I need is a special trigger that does that but it doesn't seem to exist!
Any workarounds so I don't have to have the horrible button bottom left off the slide!

Great thanks Jerry...hadn't realised that PlayerCaptions was a common variable.
This video also works through the whole process and adds a couple of nice flourishes too:

It's a pity these videos don't show up on searches in this community.
Are there updated instructions for creating a custom closed caption button that toggles the captions on and off? These steps are a little dated. When you get to the point where you create the trigger, they no longer work. In other words, the interface has changed so much that those particular steps no longer work.

I see that Tom shared an updated tutorial with you here. I'm sharing for you or anyone else following along.
