Livestream Subtitles Option

[elcavideo]

Hi, We have our own live captioner, and I would like the captions to appear on the screen like the Livestream service (http://cdn.livestream.com/events/subtitles/).

What are the parameters to show the subtitles and subtitle toggle on the Livestream player?

elcavideo,

We do not currently have an API available that would allow you to do this on your own. I'll bring this to the attention of our development team as a feature request.

Best,

Is it future enough? I'm looking for the same thing for a broadcast I need to do in a few days. If not yet, maybe your developers could get some tips from Google's Hangout captioning app for adding streamtext:

One means to add Closed Captioning would be to work with Amara (http://www.amara.org/en/).
