Increase text size of captions?

[brenna-w-m]

Is there a way to increase the text size of captions/subtitles?  They are very small and difficult to read.

I couldn't find any articles that spoke to whether this adjustment is possible, only how to turn them on.

It would be great if we could increase the text size of captions for a better reading experience.

Side Note:  I noticed last semester that captions were at the bottom of the video and they are now at the very top.  When they were at the bottom of the video, I often could not see them because they were hidden behind the progress bar of the video.  Thanks for this improvement!

Hello @brenna-w-m ...

I do not know of a way to increase the size of the captions that are in a video.  I suppose that you could use the Zoom In/Out features of your web browser to increase the overall size of the content you are viewing.  You can do this by pressing the keyboard combinations Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to increase or decrease your zoom (default is 100%).  Here's an article I found on the Internet for you, too: Zooming In and Out in Your Internet Browser.

I hope this will help a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
