Chrome support

Do someone know how to enable the subtitles in Chrome. It works in Edge but I can't make it work in Chrome.

run the video from a web server and not a local file. Chrome does not recognise the WebVTT file unless it comes from a web server.

Thanks hombah! I used the 'Live Server' extension from Visual Studio's marketplace and it worked.

It's the little box with the letters "CC" inside.

It's a control on the video player sub-window, and should be the same on any browser. I use Chrome myself and it works for me.

I didn't explain myself very well, sorry. I meant that exact button. I appears in the controls in Edge but it won't appear in the controls for the video in Chrome.

Like I said, it shows up in my Chrome.

You might want to talk to Support on this one.
