Transcript/Closed Captioning
Hello -
We are wanting to add a transcript or closed captioning to an eLearning we are working on. I was able to figure out how to use the notes to create a transcript and change the Notes label to Transcript. I was also able to figure out how to add closed captioning for my audio files.
However, we are wanting either the transcript or the closed captioning to display at the bottom after the player bar. I cannot figure out how to do this. Is this possible? Has anyone had any success with this?
Ignore that this eLearning looks "old". It is just a sample of what we are wanting to do :)

In Player > Features, make sure the Captions checkbox is checked. The learner will be presented with the [CC] button in the playbar at the bottom of your slides, once enabled, it will persist for the duration of the course.
If you want to have captions enabled at course launch, create a new Adjust Variable Trigger in your first slide:
Set Player.DisplayCaptions to value TrueWhen the timeline starts on this slidePlayer.DisplayCaptions is a Built-In Boolean system variable; it's default value is False.
Thank you so much! I already had the CC turned on. I was able to follow your steps to set-up the captioning to automatically display!
Do you know how to change the font and background color? I'm also wanting to left-align it (if possible).
Ok... thank you!
