Trigger display of transcripts

As is possible with closed captions, is it possible to set a transcript to display automatically. I can't find a built in variable to control this, so I assume it isn't possible (yet!)

Best wishes

    Set the Player.DisplayCaptions variable to True, and the captions will display. 

    Yes, this will display captions. But looking to display the new transcipt feature doing similar :-)

      Oops. Sorry I scanned the text too quickly and answered about closed captions instead of transcripts. I deleted the errant comment.

      Note to self: drink coffee before answering Forum questions. 😂

    you can simulate a user click on the transcript button with javascript

    there is a limitation - the button has to be there 🠊 activate "Video Controls: Dark or Light"

    (for "Show none" the overlay for transcript is not created at all)

    show transcript:

    document.querySelector(".video-transcript:not(.enabled)").click();

    hide transcript:

    document.querySelector(".video-transcript.enabled").click();

    toggle transcript:

    document.querySelector(".video-transcript").click();

    example:
