Please keep in mind that "Subtitles" is an optional feature that may not be available in your VideoManager. |
Nowadays it is essential to take a barrier-free implementation of online videos into consideration, if you intend to distribute your videos professionally. This means that the subtitling for the deaf or hard of hearing, but also for viewers, who do not perfectly master the video language, is required. In addition to the spoken, subtitles help to transcribe audible elements (relevant ambient noise or events) of the video in a visually readable form, so that in this way, your viewers can follow a video content even without sound. This aspect is of great significance for mobile accessing of videos because the viewing of videos on the go is often without sound.
The VideoManager offers you the possibility to implement subtitles as closed caption in your videos, so that viewers can show or hide subtitles as needed.
You can add subtitles in the advanced editing area of uploaded videos. WEBVTT and SRT files are supported, which is a W3C standard.
Currently, subtitles are only supported when using the Bitmovin Player type (all browsers) and HTML5 when using Chrome or Safari. |
