[ARCHIVED] You Tube Close Captioning

[aparadies]

I am an instructor. I have found that when I load a You Tube video that has auto generated closed captioning that the video will not play any closed captioning once inserted on Canvas. Is there a way to enable the auto generated closed captioning on the Canvas site?

Hi  @aparadies  Thank You for posting your question.  Could you please e-mail our LMS account at MPTC and provide the CRN of your course and the location of the YouTube video so we can take a look at this for you?

Thanks...

Chris

Hi again,  @aparadies  Thank You for sending us an e-mail to our LMS account.  As I indicated to you in my reply, I had put your YouTube videos into Canvas Studio, and then I embedded those videos into your course.  Unfortunately, the captions from YouTube videos do not carry over into Studio ... mainly for legal reasons / "Terms of Service".  I also provided you with a link to an informational page we have for our faculty and adjuncts that includes questions about YouTube and captioning.  Hoping that this information will be of help to you.  Thanks!
