NEW IN RISE 360: Closed Captioning
We’ve just released a powerful new feature in Rise 360: closed captioning. Now you can upload closed caption files to videos to make your content more accessible.
It’s easy to add closed captions to your Rise 360 courses. Just click Edit and select Manage captions in any block that showcases a video. Select the language, and then add your file. You can add as many languages as you like.
We hope you love this helpful new feature!

I can't find this feature in the Edit for my videos...?
Hi Kristen!
Hover a video block or an interactive block with a video, then click the Edit button that appears in the upper left corner of the block.
Next, click the small Edit link to the right of the video, and you'll see Manage Captions in the dropdown.
Is there a way to have the closed captioning on by default in Rise videos?
Hello, Carlos!
Video closed captions are turned off by default, and learners can turn them on and select their preferred language when they're ready.
Would it be possible to use the closed captions in the pdf export?
Currently, there is just an image of the video preview, if the video has closed captions, including them in the pdf would be more helpful.
Hello, David!
While you won't see the closed caption text in a PDF export, you can easily download caption text by following these steps:
Hi Alyssa,
I've got the original captions .vtt file, so I'm not looking to simply get a copy of the captions.
I was thinking more that including the captions in the pdf would be more useful to the end user, rather than just an image of the video, they would be able to get some useful information on the video content by reading the captions.
Hey David,
alternatively, you can insert the subtitle into an accordion directly below the video so that it is also displayed in PDF.
That's how we used to provide the transcript before CCs were possible in Rise, now that they are available, we are using them instead as they are the best accessibility option.
I'd rather not have to have the same content in twice or an alternative version of the module just for print variations.
Amazing! I came to the Articulate Community just now to post asking about closed captions! :)
That makes sense, David! Thanks for your feedback!
Hi! When I export my course to SCORM and upload it to our LMS (SumTotal), the captions are not displaying when I launch the course from SumTotal. Are there any settings I need to change to ensure that the CC is included in the SCORM package and will be visible when launched from the LMS? Thanks!
