Basic and simple function,
Add the ability to add subtitles to a video element :slight_smile:

<track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="REV_TRANSCRIPTION_V3.vtt" default>

Thanks,

I’d also like this added.

My company offers Accessibility as part of our services and adding a track to a video, even if it is a video wallpaper, is a requirement.

This does not seem to have gained any traction, but it is a must for anybody required to produce accessible websites. That would be everybody, whether they realize it or not.

I’d also like to request this feature.
Captions are required by law, at least in Europe. I could technically link to a YouTube video (which creates captions automatically) but I would prefer to use the locally hosted file.

This is absolutely needed.

Agreed. Adding subtitle support would be a nice accessibility improvement and also helps with videos that autoplay without sound. It’s one of those small features that can make a big difference for visitors.
