This demonstrates the JW Player's ability to overlay a video with captions.

*This example uses the JW Player version 6.7

Here we have 3 different options for the captions using .vtt text files. As you can see, adding another set of captions to the player is a simple case of adding an extra line to the code, and the .vtt file itself is easy enough to make. Here is an example:

A couple of things to be aware of: when making a .vtt file in a text editor such as notepad, make sure it saves as a .vtt, and not as a .vtt.txt file. The webserver hosting the player must also have the text/vtt mimetype set for the captions to work in the player.

You should always save your .vtt files in UTF8 encoding to prevent character issues using the 'Save As' option.
