Global Leadership Network video content on the Network includes captions, either as a selectable option within the video player or displayed directly within the video.
Whether you're watching a live online event, a replay or video-on-demand (VOD), your browser or device may offer additional options for captions and translation that can help.
Watching a Video on the Network?
Captions are provided with Network video content.
Depending on the video, captions may be:
-
Available by selecting the CC (Closed Captions) option in the video player
-
Displayed directly within the video
If you are looking for translation into another language, your browser or device may offer additional translation options. See the instructions below.
Watching a Live Online Event or VOD Replay?
If captions are not available within the video player, some browsers and devices can automatically generate captions from the audio playing on your computer.
These features are provided by your browser or device and are separate from the Global Leadership Network live or replay stream.
Google Chrome
Google Chrome offers Live Caption, which can automatically generate captions for audio playing in your browser.
To turn on Live Caption:
-
Open Google Chrome.
-
Select the three dots in the upper-right corner.
-
Select Settings.
-
Select Accessibility.
-
Turn on Live Caption.
-
Return to the live event and continue playing the video.
When speech is detected, Chrome should display automatically generated captions.
Microsoft Edge / Windows
If you are using Microsoft Edge on a Windows 11 computer, you may be able to use Windows Live Captions.
To turn on Live Captions:
-
Press Windows key + Ctrl + L.
-
Complete the initial setup if prompted.
-
Return to the live event and continue playing the video.
You can also find this setting under:
Start > Settings > Accessibility > Captions > Live captions
Because Windows Live Captions is a device feature, it may also work when viewing the event in another browser.
Safari / Mac
If you are watching in Safari, your Mac may offer Live Captions through its accessibility settings.
To check:
-
Select the Apple menu.
-
Open System Settings.
-
Select Accessibility.
-
Look for Live Captions.
-
If available, turn Live Captions on.
-
Return to Safari and continue playing the video.
Availability may depend on your Mac model, macOS version, language and region.
Mozilla Firefox
Firefox does not currently offer the same built-in live-media caption feature as Chrome.
However, your computer may have an accessibility feature that can generate captions while you watch in Firefox.
Windows 11: Press Windows key + Ctrl + L to open Windows Live Captions.
Mac: Go to Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility > Live Captions and turn on the feature if it is available for your device.
I Want to Translate What the Speaker Is Saying
Translating the spoken audio from a video or live event (including replay VOD of the live event) is different from translating the written text on a webpage.
Translation options vary by browser, operating system, device and language.
Chrome
Some versions of Chrome offer Live Translate in addition to Live Caption.
To check:
-
Open Chrome > Settings > Accessibility.
-
Turn on Live Caption.
-
Look for Live Translate.
-
If available, turn it on and select your preferred supported language.
-
Return to the video or live event.
Chrome will attempt to generate captions from the audio and translate them into the selected language.
Edge / Windows
Some supported Windows 11 devices, including certain Copilot+ PCs, offer translation through Windows Live Captions.
Open Windows Live Captions by pressing:
Windows key + Ctrl + L
If translation is supported on your device, use the available caption settings to select a supported language.
Safari / Mac and Firefox
Translation of live spoken audio may not be available as a built-in feature on every device or browser.
Check your device's accessibility and language settings for available caption and translation features. If live translation is important, you may also want to try an updated version of Google Chrome to see if Live Translate is available on your device.
I Want to Translate the Webpage
Browsers may also allow you to translate the written text on a webpage.
This is different from translating what a speaker is saying in a video.
Chrome
Select the Translate option when it appears in the address bar or Chrome menu, then choose your preferred language.
Edge
Select the Translate icon in the address bar when available, then choose your preferred language.
Safari
Select the Translate option in Safari's address field when available, then choose a supported language.
Firefox
Select the Translate icon in the address bar when available, then choose your preferred language.
Remember: Translating a webpage generally translates supported written text on the page. It does not necessarily translate the spoken audio from the video or live event.
If You Don't See These Options
Caption and translation features vary by browser, operating system, device, region and language.
If an option isn't available:
-
Make sure your browser is up to date.
-
Make sure your device's operating system is up to date.
-
Check your device's Accessibility settings.
-
If you are watching Network content, first check the video player for the CC option.
-
If you are watching a live event and need browser-generated captions or translation, try an updated version of Google Chrome.
A Note About Browser-Generated Captions and Translation
Captions provided with Global Leadership Network Network content are different from captions or translations automatically generated by a browser or device.
Browser- and device-generated captions and translations are not provided or controlled by the Global Leadership Network. Their availability and accuracy can vary.
Automatically generated captions or translations may have a slight delay, occasionally miss or incorrectly interpret words and have difficulty with names, specialized terminology, music or multiple people speaking at once.
