How can I use YouTube captions in Canvas Studio?
You've already recorded and uploaded a lecture to YouTube - and they created captions for you. Here's how to get those captions into Canvas Studio.
Answer
*You may only reuse the captions of YouTube videos owned by you.
- Use the Chrome browser to access your YouTube account: https://studio.youtube.com
- Select "Videos" on the left menu (1) to display all your videos, then click on the pencil icon for "Details" (2)
- Select "Subtitles" on the left menu (1)
Locate the published subtitle, and click the 3-dot menu (2)
Select "Edit on Classic Studio" (3)
- On the subtitles and CC page:
From the "Actions dropdown list, select ".srt" [this is the subtitle's format]
You will be prompted to save the file. Make sure it is an SRT file (*.srt).
- In your Canvas Studio, open the video to which you want to add captions.
Select "Captions" (1)
Select "English" to upload your saved *.srt file (2)
- In the video control bar, turn on the Closed Captioning [CC] by selecting "English"
