Closed Captions
Many full programs are closed captioned. When the show starts playing (after any advertisements) look for the CC button in the player controls to activate the captions.
Some types of content are not yet available with closed captioning, including most short form content, such as web-first, time sensitive news clips. Also, some clips taken from full programs lose their captions in the editing process.
We understand that closed captioning is important to many Canadians and CBC is working hard toward the eventual provision of captions on all new content online.
Described Video
We provide Described Video on some of the content found at watch.cbc.ca and in our CBC TV app for iOS and Android. Look for the DV button in the player controls to activate Described Video.
