Adding Captions to Your Video Presentation Blackboard
Mediasite allows you to add Captions to your video Presentations to meet accessibility needs as well as improve search results. Captions can be added to a Video in two ways:
- Manually – This method allows you to create your own captions using a 3rd party tool.
- 3rd Party Captioning Provider – Your Mediasite Administrator has the ability to integrate Mediasite with 3rd party Captioning Providers that allow you to have captions created for you. Turn-around times and pricing will vary by provider.
