The video tutorial demonstrates how to enable closed captions (CC) on Google Slides using a laptop and BenQ Board. Here's a breakdown:
-
Setup: First, you need to "InstaShare" your laptop to the external display. This allows you to mirror or extend your laptop screen to the external display. You can't enable captions directly on the BenQ Board, so this step is necessary.
-
Captions Activation: On your laptop, when you're in Google Slides, you'll notice three dots (the "Snowman" or "Kebab" menu) at the bottom of the screen. This is available only when you're using the laptop as the primary device. You click on these three dots and select the "Captions" option from the menu.
-
Customization: You can adjust the captions' text size and position. The options available are for English captions only, and the user prefers to set the captions to "extra-large" and position them at the bottom of the screen.
-
Accuracy: Once captions are turned on, the subtitles will appear at the bottom of the screen, though they're not perfect. The accuracy of the captions depends on how close you are to the laptop’s microphone.
-
Use Case: This feature is useful for classrooms or as an assistive technology tool for those needing captions during presentations or lessons.
In short, the tutorial explains how to activate and customize closed captions on Google Slides when using an extended laptop display, offering accessibility benefits.
