# Subtitles/Captions

Subtitles and caption files can be displayed within the player when viewing media assets.

#### Closed captions

Selecting the CC option from the player menu will show any available captions. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/c173e68f-0609-4297-9277-0fc5c6b45db7/Images/Documentation/image%28773%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T12%3A36%3A03Z&se=2026-10-26T13%3A36%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=THg%2FlWvYJlxw%2BJQ7y0s6wYW9klBJKje%2FclrkVqpCk2w%3D)

Various methods can be used in Curator to add captions to media assets.

- [VTT caption file watchfolder ingest](/docs/configuring-vtt-ingest)
- Extracting embedded captions
- [AWS Transcribe](/docs/installing-aws-transcribe)

#### Transcription panel subtitles

In addition to this, as of Curator 4.2, you can add subtitles to the Transcription panel.

These can be viewed, searched, or clicked on to navigate to the subtitle’s timestamp within the video. From Curator 4.3, if an asset has more than one transcription or subtitle track, the Transcription panel shows a drop-down to choose the language (configured by your administrator).

Transcription panel subtitles must be manually configured. For more information on configuring subtitles for the Transcription panel, see [Converting VTT files to transcription panel subtitles](/docs/converting-vtt-files-to-transcription-panel-subtitles).
