VTT Cleaner website missing

drusome naomiii ericlott KWildman Thx to everyone in this thread for participating till now!

I could access the cached version of the VTTCleaner and view the html source. I extracted the code and I have written a PowerShell script to clean a VTT file. It is in my GitHub repo now. See: https://github.com/tomka75/Tools/tree/master/MicrosoftStream/VTTCleaner

Call:
.\Clean-MicrosoftStreamVttFile.ps1 -File MicrosoftStreamVideoTranscriptDemo.vtt

Result is a clean text output in file MicrosoftStreamVideoTranscriptDemo.vttcleaned.

I hope this can help someone!

Hi naomiii ,

I did a google search for VTTcleaner, and then clicked on the google cache version. It works for now, but I'm worried that it will go away too..

Hi drusome the VVT cleaner with link to Microsoft docs doesn't even come up in my searches now. I guess there's no way I can find the cached version now, can you comment?

I found a cached version in Explorer (I usually use Chrome) but alas it didn't work. I could upload a VVT file but nothing happened. Gee I hope they sort it out quickly.
