Momentum Subtitles

[Escolastico Hall]

AgainPLEASE can you add a background behind the subtitles like in quick time player, for a better readability? Basically displaying the subtitles in a similar way the standard Apple TV software does.

This is the current suggestion thread with the most views/momentum/attention about the subtitle background topic - Add background behind subtitles. Please use this discussion to put our suggestions about pretty much the same topic in the same place for easy reference.

Inspired by the rising movement against racism in the US, WNBA champion Renee Montgomery made an unexpected decision: she opted out of her dream job. As she says in this stirring talk, she wanted to "make it felt," and that meant turning her attention from the court to the community. But you don't have to be a basketball star to make it felt; anyone can turn important moments into meaningful momentum. How will you?

No, Dropbox does not yet show subtitles, even if they are embedded into the video files. A video with embedded subtitles can display in any modern video player, such as VLC, but no, Dropbox does not yet support this. I work at a university and this poses an accessibility issue for us. We can't use Dropbox to share and collaborate around video content because our mission is to make our content accessible to all students and faculty, regardless of their disability or background.

YET I'm still unable to read subtitles for regular videos on my Dropbox, just the same way as on my Macbook when the .vtt or .srt subtitle file is located in the same folder with the identical name of the matching video.

Thanks for posting here on the Dropbox Community and thank you all very much for your feedback on subtitles. It seems like there is a combined will to make this happen among the people who have posted on this thread so I would highly recommend that someone posts it as a feature request over on our Share an idea board, if everyone who has commented here voted for it it could start some good momentum!

Thanks for mentioning Dropbox Replay @shinbeth, I think this is a really good example of how an idea can go through the Share an idea process and become a feature if there is enough demand for it. Just out of curiosity, have you been using Replay, and do you find having the subtitles in there has been a helpful addition? Also, just so you're aware, we recently launched a Dropbox Replay where Replay users can connect with each other and some members of the Replay team, so if you do have any more ideas or feedback we'd love to hear from you over there.
