How to add subtitles to your videos

For video lessons, it is important to add captions or subtitles for students to easily follow the content of the videos. 

You can add a VTT caption file to make your video more accessible. Lots of people use captions to take courses if they are available, even if they understand the language.

For example, for courses in English, there are a lot of students that understand English well, but still prefer to have captions to help them to follow along more easily.
