What's new in Adobe Connect 12.6.1
Enhancements to Closed Captions
- Closed captions will be scrollable again. Based on customer feedback, the change introduced in 12.6 to disable caption scrolling has been reverted.
- Attendees will be able to view captions only from the time they join a room and select Show captions. They will not be able to scroll and view captions made before their joining time. This will also apply to breakout rooms, and attendees will be able to view captions only from the time they join the breakout room and select Show captions.
- A new compliance and control setting will allow admins to control the visibility of the Transcript Viewer for recordings. The setting Enable transcript viewer for recordings can be found under Admin > Compliance and Control > Recordings, Closed Captions and Notice > Recordings.
- When Enable transcript viewer for recordings is checked, the Transcript Viewer will be available for all transcribed recordings. The Transcript Viewer for individual recordings can be disabled by visiting the 'Edit Information' page for the recording and unchecking Show transcript viewer (Beta).
- Hosts can export the transcripts in VTT format by selecting Actions -> Export Transcript on the Recording Information page of the recording.
