Captions

This component is used to render and display captions/subtitles.

The captions component renders and displays captions/subtitles. It will be rendered as an overlay when the player view type is video, and as a simple captions box when the type is audio.

• See the loading text tracks guide for how to load and manage captions/subtitles.
• Rendering is handled by the media-captions library, see the repo for more information.
• See the media-captions motivation section for why native captions are not good enough.
• The player will dynamically switch to native captions when custom captions cannot be displayed (e.g., iOS Safari on iPhone).
