How to Submit Your Videos
If you have not already filled out a Captioning Request Form, please do so now. After your request is submitted, you will receive an email from your campus coordinator, who will share with you a Google folder where you will upload your video files.
You can submit requests for videos in English or in a foreign language. In addition to the closed captions, you will receive video transcripts. As a reminder, please do not submit videos that:
- Have no sound (i.e. silent films), or contain only instrumental music with no lyrics.
- Are one-time or limited-use videos.
- Are at risk of being pulled from YouTube for copyright violation.
If you use a video in multiple courses, please only submit it once.
After you submit your captioning request, you will receive an email from your campus coordinator, who will create a Google folder where you will upload the video files you have stored on your computer/local drive or a cloud service.
This video (one minute and fifty-eight seconds long, ) provides instructions for placing your files in the Google Folder:
