How do I request computer-generated captions for my video in Canvas Studio?
You will learn how to request computer-generated captions for your video which you have uploaded to Canvas Studio. This guide will also show you how to edit those captions before publishing them.
Tip: This step is only necessary until you set your Canvas Studio settings to automatically caption all new video uploads.
1. Locate on your video in Canvas Studio.
2. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click on View.
3. Click on Captions tab.
4. Click on Request.
5. Use the dropdown to select English as the language.
When the processing is finished, you can continue. You might receive an email if you have that setting enabled.

Be sure that the captions make sense for someone with low hearing or a student with the sound turned off or in a room too loud to hear well. Captions are also great if the audio is unclear or the quality poor.
