CLOSED CAPTIONS
VS. OPEN CAPTIONS

Closed Captions

Closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewers. As more video players embrace Universal Design Principles, closed captions’ display settings can be adjusted to the user’s preference.

Open Captions

Open captions are permanently burned into the video; they are always visible to the viewer and cannot be turned off or adjusted. Open captions ensure your message is received by all viewers regardless of video player or environment. Clients may pick from one of four open caption templates.
