Auto-captions

Padlet supports auto-captions for uploaded videos and audio.

How to access auto-captions

Videos

When you upload a video, auto-captions are generated. To enable them, click the Settings cog icon (⚙️) on the video player, then click Captions and select the language. The captions will then be displayed at the bottom of the video player.

Audio

When you upload audio, auto-captions are generated. To enable them, open the post in expanded view by clicking the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) followed by Open post. At the bottom of the audio player, click on the speech bubble icon. The captions will then be displayed at the bottom.

Edit auto-captions

In times where the auto-captions aren't quite right - edit them!

This is also helpful if you want to add more audio description for sound effects that are happening in the video that auto-generated captions may not include.

1. After the video has been posted to the padlet, hover your mouse over the post and click Edit.
2. Click Subtitles > Download subtitles.

1. Open the file on your device and edit, as necessary > Save.
