We have a client that sends us embedded captions in their Live Stream, and we have “Embedded CEA-608 captions in live streams” enabled on their application. We record their incoming streams so they are available for VOD playback. Is there a way to make the captions available on the recording?

FYI: we move the recording to an Azure Blob Storage Account after the live stream ends.

To allow Captions to be recorded, you will want to first enable the following :  
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-closed-captioning-for-live-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-closed-captioning-for-live-streaming)

The Module is at the bottom of this section after [#8](https://wowza.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/8). The closed captions should pass through no problem to the recording. Be sure to use a player that can properly display the 608 captions. What player will you be using?

**With this enabled, please test and if you are not seeing captions in your recordings, please submit a support ticket.**
