Closed Captioning For Google Drive

Google Drive offers a great solution for hosting accessible video content. It doesn't matter where the video content was created, it can be downloaded to Drive and captions added there. This is a great solution in environments where YouTube is blocked and when using different video creation platforms that do not offer a captioning solution.

You must have a transcript to upload to Google Drive. There are several options for creating a transcript.

1. Create and use a transcript when making your video.
2. Use Voice Typing in Google Docs/Split Screen to generate a transcript and then edit.
3. Use Caption Creator for Google Drive to transcribe your Google Drive Video.
