Streaming Apps (YouTube, Vimeo, & Live News): Will Not Show Closed Captions or Subtitles on the Screen

Why doesn't my video streaming app show closed captions or subtitles? Here we explain why

Updated over 10 months ago

Please make sure the video has closed captions added to it. If they are auto-generated, the uploader of the video would need to create captions/add the transcription to it and then you would be able to display that on ScreenCloud. If the video does not have a closed captions file added or the video owner disables captions, the video will not playback with captions on ScreenCloud. You can click here for a support article from Google on how to create transcription files.
