Changing the Language of Auto-Captioned Videos

Panopto automatically captions all videos uploaded to the system. The default language for auto-captioning is English. Videos recorded in a language other than English will have inaccurate captions unless the creator changes the default language of the upload folder prior to uploading the video or reprocesses the video captions using the correct language after uploading the video.

Note: Panopto does not translate from one language to another. These instructions apply only to videos that were incorrectly captioned because the language was not set correctly.
