Export captions as .vtt (WebVTT) files

I'd like the option to export closed captions as .vtt files. Some of my clients only accept this format, and doing it manually or with different software is either very time consuming or costly.

So it's been 3 years, 9 months and 6 days. I love the update you did to the captioning panel but without the export to VTT..... it's a big part for accessibility requirement, MS team specifically STREAM only take VTT. Most of all the Government workforce in Canada work exclusively on MS Team now.
Please Please Please.....

VTT is a must! Please add sooner rather than later. Seems to be the preferred format for businesses!

The post describes SRT format not VTT. They are different. Please add this feature so my colleagues can produce VTT files and I don't have to nerf my VTT file validator 😞

Caption formats needed for our deliveries include .vtt, .scc, .srt and text for seo.
Please provide a translation tool or option on export sidecar files in these credible formats.

Thanks

Yes this is needed.
We need WebVTT for Microsoft Stream.
We also need WebVTT when importing videos into Microsoft PowerPoint, which only accepts WebVTT.
For a long time now, I've been able to export .srt or .vtt from YouTube, but am confused why it's taken Premiere Pro so long to be on par with this.
I've got the latest Premiere Pro 15.4.1 at the time of this writing, but still no WebVTT
