Looking for streaming<\/a> solutions to add subtitles or closed captions to your video project? You\u2019ve come to the right place! This article will cover how to do closed captioning for web videos<\/a>.<\/p>

Closed Captions (often abbreviated \u201cCC\u201d) can convey text information during a video<\/a>. For example, captions include text and dialogue.<\/p>

Moreover, they can also provide contextual info about music playing and other important sounds.<\/p>

After reading this post, you can create your own captions and caption files. Closed captions can be stored on a .srt<\/a> or .vtt file extension, and this caption file can make your content more accessible to people with hearing disabilities.<\/p>

Captions are key for reaching deaf, hard of hearing, and language-learning populations. Including captions with your video<\/a> is a legal requirement in some situations. Another advantage of adding support text tracks is increasing your content\u2019s visibility on search engines. With that context in mind, here\u2019s a breakdown of the topics we\u2019ll cover on closed captioning for web videos<\/a>:<\/p>

How to do closed captioning for web video<\/strong><\/p>

We\u2019ll begin this article by describing how to add closed captions to a video-on-demand (VOD)<\/a> hosted on our video streaming platform<\/a>.<\/p>

First, log in to your Mslive<\/a> account. Next, navigate to your video-on-demand section. Once there, select the video<\/a> to which you want to add the captions. Lastly, click over to the \u201cPublish Settings\u201d tab.<\/p>

On this page, you\u2019ll see a button labeled \u201cAdd subtitles\u201d. Click that button, and you can now upload your subtitle files. After uploading, click on SAVE, and that\u2019s it! You should be able to select your subtitles directly within the player.<\/p>

Next, let\u2019s discuss what types of files to upload.<\/p>

Different types of closed captions<\/strong><\/p>

At this point, the question becomes: what exactly should you upload? First, Mslive\u2019s supported caption files include SRT (SubRip Text, aka SubRip Title)<\/a> and VTT (Video Text Tracks, aka WebVTT) files.<\/p>

VTT file captions are preferable of the two, as they are part of the HTML5 standard. However, modern HTML5 live streaming<\/a> supports both protocols.<\/p>

Both VTT file formats and SRT<\/a> files also support multi-language subtitles. For example, you can caption the same video<\/a> in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic. We recommend choosing the VTT file format if you have the option.<\/p>

CEA-608 (\u201cLine 21\u201d) vs. CEA-708 captions<\/strong><\/p>

CEA-608 and CEA-708 are legal standards for closed captioning of TV broadcasts<\/a>. CEA-608 (sometimes called EIA-608 or \u201cLine 21\u201d captions) is an older standard. This standard came on the scene following lawsuits and legislation aimed at making TV programs accessible to people who are deaf and hard of hearing.<\/p>

CEA-708 is the updated standard, which includes a broader array of features and options. These include support for various alphabets, multiple simultaneous languages, custom positioning, fonts, and text size and color.<\/p>

Mslive<\/a> supports both CEA-608 and CEA-708. When you add a VTT file or SRT file<\/a> to your Mslive video, it is automatically compatible with CEA-708 caption standards.<\/p>

How to generate closed captions for your video<\/strong><\/p>

Regarding captioning file formats, SRT<\/a> and VTT files are the most popular subtitle formats. What was formally known as WebSRT<\/a>, or web subtitle resource tracks was renamed webVTT, or web video text track, in 2010.<\/p>

VTT and SRT<\/a> are simply plain text files containing information about the video. The WEBVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) format is popular because of its adaptability with all major online video players<\/a>. VTT file format is also widely accepted by social media platforms<\/a> and most editing software. As such, the information these VTT files incorporate can include:<\/p>
