Closed captioning on videos

I rely on closed captioning to follow video content (thank you for providing them Team Treehouse, it's a big part of why I signed up!) but I wonder if I could set cc to be on automatically site-wide rather than having to switch them on for each video?

I believe the Treehouse playback settings page will let you can turn on closed captioning site-wide.

I still am unable to receive cc's on certain videos in the Advanced CSS Selectors stage (Pseudo-Classes – :nth-of-type and :only-of-type to give a specific example). Should CC's be available for all videos?

Spencer O'Neill - They should indeed. Send a quick email to help@teamtreehouse.com about the issue. Tagging Guil Hernandez

Hi Spencer O'Neill. I've resubmitted the video for subtitling. It usually takes about 48hrs to be transcribed. I'll notify you when it's ready. Sorry about that.

Hello Guil Hernandez!

I just want to make sure that everybody is aware that it seems to be all videos including the one above and all videos after that are missing CC's. I'd hate to make this take longer than it would need to be!

Thanks again for all your help!

Many thanks James, that's done it!

I also use the cc, but with the play/pause bar right at the bottom of the video, it adds a lot of in the way stuff. Can you guys work on placing the play/pause & cc below the video giving us an unobstructed view? Thanks!
