Captions/Subtitles not appearing in preview

I think this matches what Nick showed in the video...

The CC control is contained in a 3 dot option button, but even when they are set to "English" they don't show up on the video.

I'm using Chrome

I'm having the same issue. In the three dot button I only have Download or Captions options, but nothing happens when I click on the Captions option.

I was curious about the three dots since I didn't see them with my Mac at work. But when I got home and checked under Windows I found them with Chrome. Still I could see the captions. However when I used IE11 I couldn't. With Windows my version of Chrome 68.0.3440.106 so maybe an update required?

I see them. Is there a CC button in the player controls and is it enabled?
