Can I remove the subtitles of a video?

Question

Good evening,

I am a teacher and I use Dropbox for my students. I want them to have access to the videos without the subtitles for them to learn.

I would like to know if it is possible to deactivate them definitely in the settings.

I want to have control over their use.

I hope you will be able to help me.

Otherwise, I will need to find another platform....

Cordially,

Hey @EnglishTeacher88 - thanks for joining the discussion here.

While there's no way to disable the closed captions from a video file, you can turn them off by clicking the closed captions icon (rectangle with two c’s) to turn on or off captions for your file.

I hope this helps a tad.

Hello,

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I can disable close captioning for the same reason.

Hey @FrenchTeacher06, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today.

At the moment, there's no way to edit a video file to remove the subtitles; Dropbox doesn't have such a feature.

We appreciate your feedback though and I will pass your comments to our team.

If you have any questions, do let me know!
