About
Kaltura supports live captions and live translations for scheduled webcasts. These services help make your live events more accessible and inclusive by providing real-time captions or translated subtitles during the stream.
Live captioning and translation can be added from either:
- the Video Portal
- the Kaltura Management Console (KMC)
If live captioning is not available on your account, please contact your Kaltura representative to have it enabled.

Using ingested captions?
If you're using embedded captions from your encoder (CEA/EIA-608 or 708), you can still configure and manage those in KMC. For details, see Ingest captions with your video stream.
