Host features
New or enhanced featureCustom captions for simulive eventsHosts can upload custom captions to their cloud recording that can be used during simulive events instead of automated captions. When a recording has custom captions uploaded, these captions replace the automated captions for that language during simulive playback. Attendees maintain control over caption visibility and can toggle them on or off during the event. The custom captions are not embedded in the video stream, allowing for flexible viewer preferences.Web portal
