Closed Captioning on Livestreams of Webinars/Events to YouTube - Enabling of "CC" Button

Hello, 

 

I would like to know if it is possible, when livestreaming webinars/events to YouTube or other RTMP source, to have the closed captions created within Zoom to be available via the "CC" button in the YouTube player (instead of being baked into the video) for better accessibility and viewing experience. Is this possible?

    Hi @EMW1 ,
    The engineering team looking after livestreaming are looking at this feature, as there is also a question of which language they should provide captions for.
    The CC button in youtube, as I understand it, needs the captions to be written in, or uploaded to. And can not be accessed live.  
    All the best

    John
