New to Storyline: Can You Customize Closed Captions?

I'm new to Articulate Storyline, (I've been using Captivate for more than 10 years, and I have a question about closed captions. Beyond changing the font and the font size, are there other ways that you can customize closed captions? Can you change the fill color or the font color of the closed caption? Or can you move the closed caption to another spot on the slide?

Hello Everyone!

I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 86 (Build 3.86.32028.0).

Included in this release we have two new features:

Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.

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!

Hello Doug!

I'm happy to help!

First, make sure the Closed Captioning is turned on in the Player Properties. Here's a quick look at how to do this.

Do you see the same issue when publishing the course? If so, do you mind sharing your file with us? We'll take a look a determine what might be preventing the captions from showing up? Here's an upload link.
