Add Captions to Videos Hosted in Google Drive

Videos hosted in Google Drive can include user-supplied captions. Similar to YouTube videos, a plain transcript file can also be uploaded and Google will figure out the timing for the captions.


Here are the steps:

1. After uploading the video, click on it in the Drive window
2. If the file details are not visible, click on the View Details button
3. The Details panel includes a section to manage caption tracks - click on the pencil icon to access this dialog
   
4. Click the link to Add new captions or transcripts - a caption file can be added (this can be created by the state distance education captioning grant via 3C Media Solutions), as can a plain text transcript (Google will work out the timing)
