Is wowza streaming cloud able to ingest cea 608 captions and broadcast ontextdata? I’m having trouble getting captions from wirecast to wowza to flowplayer. Thanks! ---

Hi @Sean Green, did you type captions 608 in the wowza documentation search bar? * * * Did you already follow this doc? [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-include-closed-captions-in-a-live-stream-or-transcoder-with-wowza-streaming-cloud](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-include-closed-captions-in-a-live-stream-or-transcoder-with-wowza-streaming-cloud) You will need to see if FlowPlayer supports them. I would test if they are coming though on any of the [Wowza test players](https://www.wowza.com/testplayers)that are compatible with your browser or in VLC player. If none of those work, then it is your config and you can submit a [support ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket). If they do work then you will need to research the support within flow player or use a different player. Also, if you search this out forums, there are several discussions around 608 captions and you may find your solution there.

I have searched quite a bit and unable to find the answers. My questions is does wowza steaming cloud support converting cea 608 to ontextdata like wowza streaming engine does. ---

Wowza Streaming Cloud will pass through the 608 captions if they are embedded in the stream, but does not support converting them to _ontextdata_ at this time for TTML output. You are correct @sean comber, this is only through Engine. ---

I would ask about it in our [livestreaming slack](https://www.wowza.com/slack) @sean comber though because I think some external devs in there created some http providers to do this.
