- How do I turn off closed captions?
Closed captioning and video description make classroom learning a better experience for all students, not just those who are deaf or blind. Captioning and description can also benefit a child with a learning disability or someone who speaks English as a second language.
Captioning
renders audio, including dialog, sound effects, and other relevant information such as speaker identification and tone of voice into unobtrusive text on the display.
Activating and Trouble-shooting Closed Captioning
Description
provides a narration in between the dialog that helps blind and low-vision students understand the visual content. It describes visuals, scene locations, actions, body language, and on-screen titles.
