Transcript panel on by default

By default, there is no built-in setting in Storyline that automatically positions the Transcript panel next to the video. However, you can achieve this effect using JavaScript. Execute JavaScript trigger when the timeline starts on this slide:

const transcriptBtn = document.querySelector('.modern-video-control.video-transcript');
if (transcriptBtn && !transcriptBtn.classList.contains('enabled')) {
    transcriptBtn.click();
}
