Captioning Services

CSUSM offers free captioning services for all campus-affiliated videos. There are a number of ways video content may be made available for viewers.

All of these instances MUST be accurately captioned:

  • Recordings made using the campus Mediasite systems
  • Videos embedded into the campus website (Youtube, Vimeo, etc)
  • Videos made available in Cougar Courses (Canvas)
  • Video encoded on DVD disc media
Processing Times & Rush Requests
Try to submit post-production work with as much advance notice as possible.

If you need captioning before the normal 3 business day timeline, please select rush processing in the form.

Caption Request Form

Executive Order 926 from the CSU Chancellor’s Office requires captioning for all video content intended for general distribution at California State University San Marcos.

Did you know?

Microsoft allows users to auto generate captioning for videos in Stream, Sharepoint, and OneDrive. Just go to the video's settings, select "Transcript and captions" and generate! Once completed the captions will be automatically added to the video, and they can be edited under "Transcript."
