When working with Closed Captions, content authors will need to create these files in order to add captions to a Presentation. The steps to do so are as follows:

• Create a Notepad Document (Or download the attached template)
• Follow this format to start the document:
  

  WEBVTT
  
  00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:10.000
  [Enter your text here]
  
  00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:20.000
  [Enter your text here]

  Note:
  • The first line must always contain the text WEBVTT followed by a carriage return (enter).
  • The next line contains the time the text will appear on the screen following: hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds
  • The number on the left is when the text starts to appear and the number on the right of the arrow is when the text disappears. Leave a period of time between closed captions.
    
    
• Once you have your caption file completed, save the document and edit the title to ensure that instead of the file ending in ".txt" it ends in ".webvtt"
