Caption your Kaltura Videos

by | Jun 25, 2025 | Kaltura

Kaltura does automatic English-language closed captioning but it’s good to doublecheck them! Here you can see how to request, verify, edit, and delete captions.

Fully automatic (mechanical) captions will be created by default for any new media loaded into Kaltura.
