Google Slides Closed Captioning and Screencastify

Did you know that Google Slides recently added the ability for presenters to display closed captions while presenting? We've used it a few times to support one of our American Sign Language teachers and it has been great!

The new closed captioning can be turned on and off when in the presenter view of any Google Slide Presentation. Right now the captions are not recorded or saved, but presenters can use Screencastify or another screen recording tool to record the presentation and capture the closed captioning.

You can learn more about Closed Captions in Google Slides from this Google's Keyword Blog.
