Closed Captoins

We are working on a transcript editor, however there are a few bugs/fixes we want to do before we open it up to everyone.

 

Our initial implementation will re-use the "Transcript" window on the player page and allow you to put it into edit mode to make changes to the transcript if you own the video. Due to this design decision, transcript / closed caption editing directly in Stream (to start) will only be available to users with E5/Stream P2 licenses. We likely will eventually rearrange the player page and video edit page which would allow us to move closed caption edit out of being an E5/Stream P2 only thing. However we don't have a solid plan for that now.

 

If you want to try out the transcript editor as it is right now in it's beta/unfinished state, you can do so with a special "hidden" query string.

 

As a user with E5/Stream P2 license, go to a video you own, on the player page, add the following to the end of the URL: ?TranscriptEdit=true

 

So it would look like this: 

https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/725345c5-4690-4fd5-8778-4182835ecfbc?TranscriptEdit=true

This is still not on for everyone and is hidden behind the query string because we still have some optimizations and fixes to do before it's ready. But you can try it out early and beta test it and give us any feedback.
