Closed captioning support in the Modern Express client
In this update, the redesigned Modern Express client now supports both manual and live closed captioning. Closed captioning allows organizations to fulfil some of the accessibility requirements.
By default, both manual and live closed captioning are disabled.
When manual closed captioning is enabled and a participant is assigned as the Closed
Captioner for an event, participants attending the event in the redesigned Modern Express
client get the options to show or hide closed captions and see the CC transcript. The Closed
Captioner is identified by a CC icon (
) next to their display name.
Participants in the Modern Express client cannot be assigned as a Closed Captioner for an event.
To enable viewing closed captions, click the CC icon (
) in the footer. To disable
captions, click the CC icon again.
When the captions are broadcasted in the event, they start appearing in the subtitles area above the footer in the Modern Express client. The subtitles bar disappears 10 seconds after the last closed captioning message and re-appears when the next message is received.
To view the CC transcript, click the More actions icon and click View CC Transcript.
The closed caption transcript opens in a popup window, which you can resize and move in the client area. The CC Transcript includes both manual and live subtitles.
