If you have captions or subtitles for your video content, you can use your Odeum Dashboard to add caption tracks.

NOTE: This feature is available for the web and all v3 apps.

In addition to providing your viewers with text that explains the audio aspects of your video content and making your content more accessible, adding captions to your online video content can provide several additional benefits:

  • Improved video SEO

  • Increased content retention

  • Increased engagement with autoplay content

  • Environment-independent content viewing

  • Legal compliance

Due to the specification of HLS, Odeum supports only one type of caption track files: WebVTT (.vtt)

(SubRip (.srt) and DFXP/TTML (.dxfp) are not supported in Odeum.)
