Tips and Tricks (Basic)-Positioning of the closed caption (subtitle) on a video

Video Transcription

If you have closed caption or subtitle attached to your video, the positioning of the subtitle is controlled based on the browser. For example, this is the Chrome.  You will see that the subtitle or the closed caption shows up just about this high away from the progress bar. So this is Chrome's implementation of where to display.  I'm going to open Firefox to show that Firefox actually implements about the same distance as Chrome. Here is Internet Explorer Edge.  Internet Explorer Edge does about the same distance as well. So keep in mind Firefox, Edge, and Chrome has the same implementation of where to display the closed caption.  Now I'm going to come over to Safari. I'm going to refresh the screen to show that Safari put the closed caption a little bit lower than the other three browsers.  This is just a way to highlight that the closed caption display is not controlled by Oasis or the video player. Instead, it is controlled by the browser the user is using.  Thank you.
