Live Closed Captioning (Beta)
Prior to this update, only manual closed captioning was supported for Cornerstone Classroom clients.
Live closed captioning feature is supported only in the Cornerstone Classroom Premium Video mode.
Once the feature is enabled, event leaders and co-presenters can choose to enable either manual or live closed captioning in an event by clicking the Closed Caption icon.
To enable live closed captioning, select the Live Closed Caption check box in the CC menu.
When live closed captioning is enabled, the Live Closed Caption check box remains selected while the Select a Closed Captioner check box for manual closed captioning is hidden.
The CC menu is displayed and activated in the toolbar for all co-presenters and participants. They can view subtitles and CC transcript using this menu.
When live closed captioning is enabled, the system automatically starts transcribing audio to text and any user who clicks the Show Subtitles menu option can start seeing the subtitles in the subtitle bar at the bottom of the client window. The subtitles bar disappears 10 seconds after the last closed captioning message and re-appears when the next message is received. The subtitles are also captured and displayed in the CC Transcript.
To disable live closed captioning, click the CC icon and clear the Live Closed Caption check box in the CC menu.
Using Manual Closed Captioning
For domains set to live closed captioning, event leader or co-presenter can still choose to use manual closed captioning in the event. To enable manual closed captioning, first click the CC icon and then select the Select a Closed Captioner check box in the CC menu. This opens the Attendees panel where you can right-click and assign an attendee as a closed captioner. When manual closed captioning is enabled, the Select a Closed Captioner check box remains selected while the Live Closed Caption check box for live closed captioning is hidden.
To disable manual closed captioning, click the CC icon and clear the Select a Closed Captioner check box in the CC menu.
