To upload an existing caption file (.srt, .ashx, .vtt, .txt, and .dxfp files only) to a Panopto video:
- Log into your Panopto account, using your EID, password, and MFA (multi-factor authorization) for access.
- Navigate to the video you will be captioning, hover over it in the Panopto library, and select the Settings button.
- Click on the Captions tab in the left-hand navigation.
- If captions have already been generated for the video, that file must be deleted before a new one can be manually uploaded. To delete the existing file, click on the arrow under Available Captions and select Delete Captions.
- Once the existing captions file has been deleted, click Choose File, then locate and select the captions file on your device to upload. Select Captions are based on the edited session if the captions you are uploading are based on the session as it is edited in Panopto. Click Upload Captions to complete the action.
- Depending on the length of the video and the corresponding captions file, it may take a few minutes for the file to be processed into the video. Refresh your browser and look for the CC icon in the video thumbnail image, indicating that captions are present.
