Follow on to closed captions in event video post

Report · Jun 01, 2021

TLCMediaDesign kindly replied to my previous post on controlling closed captions in event videos:

"The only way I know of doing this is to create the video in an html page and use a .vtt file for the captions, when the browser sees the vtt include, it will also include a CC button."

Sorry, I need a little more help with this. I assumed that it would be obvious which file to modify in the published Captivate HTML5 project to add the HTML <track> tag to include the closed captions, something like:

I can only find reference to the video in the CPM.js file. Please can you provide more guidance how to create the video in an html page and use a .vtt file for the captions. NB I have created the .vtt file in YouTube.

Thanks

create and html page with the VTT file and the video file all in the same location:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset= "utf-8">
<title>Video</title>
</head>

Then zip all three files and insert into Captivate as an html5 animation. Set the size in Captivate the same size as the video.
