Adding YouTube Videos to 3CMedia
Because you do not have the ability to upload caption files to other people's YouTube accounts, you will need to place your YouTube videos within 3CMedia (or Canvas Studio) so that the caption overlay can be put in place. The following video (1:05) shows you how to do it.
Captioning 3C Media Videos
You can request captions in 3CMedia or through your campus coordinator. The following tutorials explain your options for captioning and transcriptions.
Requesting Captions in 3CMedia
If copies of your videos files are stored in 3CMedia, you can request human-generated captions directly in 3CMedia. As of Fall 2023, 3CMedia provides captions (but not transcripts) for instructor videos.
The following video shows how to request captions directly in 3C Media.
Submitting a Caption Request Through Your Campus Coordinator
For videos that cannot be captioned in 3CMedia or if you would like to request video transcripts, go to your 3CMedia account, retrieve a link to the appropriate video, and submit that link in a Google sheet. This will be created by your campus coordinator and shared with you after you submit your captioning request. You can also download your video files and upload them in a Google folder.
Both methods for sharing your 3CMedia videos are demonstrated in the video below (1:59).
Uploading Your Caption Files to 3CMedia
The video below (0:43) shows you how to upload caption files to your 3CMedia videos. If you're not familiar with 3CMedia but are interested in using it, please see Using 3CMedia.
Embedding 3CMedia Content In Canvas
To make your 3CMedia content available for you students, you'll need to embed it using the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE). This tool is available within Canvas Pages, Announcements, Assignments, etc. The video below (1:17) shows you how to embed using this tool.
