We have an article on how to deliver SRT closed captions at the link below.

Note that neither our sample player nor our Wowza Player support closed captions.

Hello @Mohammad Albaghdadi,

You would need to test in a player that supports SRT captions.

The Test Players that are available through the Wowza Manager UI do not support captions.

You can test with Wowza Player here: [https://player.wowza.com/en/builder](https://player.wowza.com/en/builder)

You can test with JW Player here: [https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/stream-tester/?playerversion=8](https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/stream-tester/?playerversion=8)

Regards,

Alex C.
