Uploading a closed captions (subtitles) file to eStream
Captions (subtitles) are text alternatives to on screen content which capture all the spoken audio, plus on-screen text and descriptions of key visual information that wouldn’t otherwise be accessible without seeing the video.
Captions help participants who have sight or hearing impairments as well as non-native speakers.
You can create caption files yourself or use free automated services to help.
Your captions file must be .srt format and saved to your computer.
