How It Works 

The first step is to navigate to the Courses > Products section of your account. Here, you can create a new product or choose an existing product to modify.

Once you have accessed your product, open or create the lesson you wish to add the video to, then upload your video from your device or a URL.

Once the video is uploaded, several options will appear below it. Click on the CC icon to begin managing closed captions.

A modal will appear, allowing you to select a language from the dropdown menu (1), upload an SRT file containing the closed captions - recommended aspect ratio: 1280 × 720 px; maximum file size: 70 MB (2)- and finalize the process by clicking the Upload button (3).

Click the pencil icon to make adjustments to the closed captions, or remove it by clicking the trash can. Additionally, add multiple languages for enhanced inclusion by clicking the “+ Add more Closed Caption” button.

Within the editing tool, you’ll have the ability to fine-tune the timing, formatting, and content of your subtitles with precision. Make the necessary adjustments, then click the Update & Save button once you're satisfied with the changes.

Advanced options within the tool include switching between Raw and Structured Modes and the various available languages.

Finally, close the window and save the lesson. Don’t forget to review the final output to ensure a seamless experience for all learners.

By following these steps, you can effectively add and manage closed captions and subtitles for your course videos, making your content more accessible, inclusive, and globally relevant. Whether you're reaching learners across different languages or enhancing the learning experience for those with hearing impairments, these tools empower you to deliver high-quality, engaging education.
