We want to be able to attach .vtt files from Zoom recordings to get a closed caption track. We would like an easier way to provide closed captions which are necessary for ADA accommodations and extremely useful to all students. Right now our only option for captioned videos embedded in Populi would be to use a 3rd party platform to "burn" the captions permanently to the video and then upload to Populi. We'd like the functionality to have captions that can be turned on and off on videos while embedded in Populi.

Clint Collins I want to bump this option as well. CC support is an important ADA feature and also a valuable tool for students for whom English is their second language. Something as simple as being able to add in .vtt support as Kristen has requested would be incredibly useful for our institution as well.

Dub West This would be incredibly useful to our students as well. We have many international students as well as some that have bad hearing.

Hugo Córdova Quero In current times, captioning is essential. Populi should work towards this so we can accommodate people who are hearing impaired as well as the large amount of international students whose mother tongue is not English. Close captioning is not a fancy feature; it is an essential tool.
