Adding a Video with Captions as a Module Activity

Introduction

This is a feature in GZ Learn that allows admins to upload caption files for videos they upload as part of activities in their modules. For example, Microsoft Teams allows downloading a video recording (MP4) and a transcription file (VTT). Uploading both to an activity within GZ Learn will incorporate the transcription file data as video captions for learners to watch the video. We offer 5 language options to start: English (default), Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Chinese.

This guide demonstrates how to upload a transcription/caption file to a video in your module.
