Limelight Video Platform Adds Closed Captioning
You know those times when closed captioning comes in handy? It’s essential for hearing-impaired audiences, good for foreign language translation, and useful in environments where notching the volume up high just isn’t the most practical or polite course of action. For all of these situations, we’ve added a new closed captioning feature to the Limelight Video Platform. LVP users can upload a caption file, and captions will automatically be added to the associated video along with a list of language options. Controls in the Player Builder menu let video publishers adjust default settings or change the appearance or location of captions for viewers.
You can find details on creating caption files and troubleshooting tips over on the LVP blog. For further help, check out caption file services from 3PlayMedia, SubPLY, and dotSub.
