I am new to the e-learning realm and curious about accessibility for the Rise courses we are building. We are using Docebo; the videos we use in our Instructional Design are primarily downloaded from our company Vimeo account, or our company youtube account. How can I go about ensuring that closed captioning is available for the videos I embed into Rise? Anyone with the insights into Rise and/or Docebo on how to do this? Thanks!
lf you are embedding your own content from Vimeo or YouTube that contains closed captioning, your learners will be able to use the CC icon on the video player. Use the iframe embed code to add those videos to Rise 360 courses.
This is definitely an issue. The eLearning community is focused on UDL and not being able to accommodate all learning needs doesn't allow us to be in compliance with WCAG 2.0 requirements. I hope Articulate makes this a priority soon!
Just to follow up on this too, this thread is over 2 years old now. The stock reply from the Staff that comment on here that there are "no updates yet", or that we are "on the mailing list for updates" are becoming tired and wearing thin. This is basic Accessibility functionality that has been requested for over 2 years by the community, and we haven't even had a confirmation that it is being consdered for development yet.
I know Articulate don't publicise upcoming updates, which is an understandable way to manage expectations, but can someone please advise us if this is even on a product backlog, or should anyone who has Accessibility requirements just forget that Rise exists and look for an alternate solution instead?
I think it's ony fair to point out that Rise has had accessibility features added.
Granted it's not CC and I would also find it useful to know what features are being worked on, but it would be unfair to conclude there has been no progress around accessibility.
Having said that, I for one would prefer for a push to get accessibility sorted over development of other new features for Rise. New features are great, but basic functionality which is essential for some people would be more important in my view.

Great comment Paul. I absolutely agree with you especially since this is such a basic function. I was surprised the video player was released without caption functionality in the first place, and find it hard to understand why we are still waiting for this. This function should be a top priority for the next feature release.
"... our end goal is to get Rise 360 output WCAG 2.1 compliant by the end of 2020."
Carrie asked
"WCAG 2.1 AA?"
Crystal confirmed
"Level AA is the goal!"
WCAG 2.1 AA includes audio description for pre-recorded video (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#time-based-media), so hopefully if this timescale is achievable, this would mean it would be in place by the end of 2020.
I think Captioning for audio is required even to meet level A. Is there a goal to meet A requirements first, or is the entanglement of the work such that it'll be more 'AA' or 'as is' ? Any tighter timetable specific to the captioning would be incredibly helpful for planning 2020 work.

+1 for this feature
+1 for closed captions in Rise!
Thanks for your feedback David and Rob! I'll add your voice to this request.
I would also like to see closed captions in Rise.
Hi all,

Hello, Lush! Welcome to E-Learning Heroes.
lf you are embedding your own content from Vimeo or YouTube that contains closed captioning, your learners will be able to use the CC icon on the video player. Use the iframe embed code to add those videos to Rise 360 courses.
Let me know if you need more help!
+ 1 for this feature please

I agree 100%. CC in Rise is an expectation that is unfortunately has not been met.
Any update on closed captioning in Rise?
Thanks, Jaclyn, Julie, and Stephanie. No updates to share, but we'll post here if anything changes.

I agree with David. Accessible content should be a given.

+ 1 for closed captions in Rise, for audio and video. Thanks!
Close captions would be great, thank you
+1 from me for this, as well.
Accessibility isn't a 'nice to have feature' it's a straight-up requirement in some regions.
We absolutely need Closed Captioning in Rise's video player, and it would be great to have alternative language track options available too.
Here is one way to add closed captions into Rise videos. Enjoy!

Any updates on the timing of this functionality?
