Subtitle/Captions File Upload API Feature #7263
Comments
An important thing will be what caption formats we will support. We'll have to check what the browsers and the player support. |
The following types of subtitle files are accepted:

Feature fully implemented. |
Accessibility is important in the educational market. Providing captions for audio-only content is important for assisting users who are deaf or hard of hearing - and is a convenience for those who aren't, as well.
We currently offer the ability to have captions in the BigBlueButton meeting (by having a person in the session doing the live captioning), and these are automatically converted into a subtitle format for the recording. However, live captions often contain errors due to lack of editing, and the automatic timing and layout don't always provide great results.
We would like to provide the ability to upload a manually edited subtitle track and have it incorporated into the recording of a meeting.
