"I don't want to use lightroom for picture presentation. My picture are share by Microsft OneDrive."

 

You can display the caption using the Slideshow module and then use menu Slideshow> Export JPEG Slideshow. That will create a folder with the exported JPEG files, which can be uploaded to OneDrive. At the below link scroll down to 'Add text and metadata to slides.'

I will check it out later today and comeback with some feedback. My only concern is, will it work outside lightroom when I want to view picture on my pc? I don't want to use lightroom for picture presentation. My picture are share by Microsft OneDrive.

In the Export window, make sure that Metadata > Include is set to All Metadata:

 

 

If that doesn't help, what specific application are you using to check for the presence of the caption in the metadata?

I already check all metadata, but i didnt check the write keyword option.  So one the picture as been exported, i use the photo viewer in windows or the one on my phone. When I check for the description of the picture, all I see is the name files. There is no title or caption.

"i use the photo viewer in windows"

 

I don't think the Windows Photos app displays captions.  Try this: In File Explorer, navigate to the exported photo, right-click it, and select Properties. In the Properties window, click Details:

 

 

The LR caption should appear in the Title field -- does it?
