How to Include Subtitles

The ability to enable subtitles or captions events is on the roadmap, however Chrome have a built in feature you can use

Updated over 5 months ago

At the moment, Crowdcast doesn't have captioning built in, but we are working on it. We know how important it is for greater accessibility. But good news! Live Captions are available on most Chromium-based browsers. Here are instructions for three commonly used Chromium browsers:

  • Chrome – Click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner, then click on "Settings." Scroll down to the "Accessibility" section and click on "Manage accessibility features." Toggle the "Live Caption" button to on.

  • Edge – Click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner, then click on "Settings." Scroll down to the "System" section and click on "Accessibility." Toggle the "Closed captions" button to on.

  • Opera – Click on the Opera menu button, then click on "Settings." Scroll down to the "Advanced" section and click on "Features." Toggle the "Easy Setup" button to on, and then click on "Accessibility" to access the accessibility settings.

When enabled, Live Captions automatically appear in a small, moveable box at the bottom of your browser when you’re watching or listening to a piece of content that includes speech.

If you’re not seeing this feature, try manually updating and restarting your browser.

Please note, this setup is on the viewer's end. Captions are just for the viewer who enables them and are not displayed within the video feed directly.
