Closed Captions in Panopto

Editing Automatic Captions

All recordings uploaded to Panopto will be automatically captioned using Panopto's Automatic Machine Captions.  The captions will usually be added a few hours after the recording has been uploaded.  The automatic captions do a fairly decent job, but can have trouble with proper names or faster speakers.  You can manually edit the automatic captions using the following steps:

  1. Find the session where you wish to manage the captions, hover over it and click Edit to open the Panopto Editor.
  2. Select Captions from the left side of the editor, you will see the current captions each with its timestamp.
  3. You can edit each individual caption by hovering over the block of text and clicking the three dots that appear next to the caption timestamp, then select Edit.

  1. You can completely delete the caption by clicking the trash can icon.
  2. Once you've edited your captions, commit the changes by pressing the Apply button on the top right of the Editor.
