Live Captioning to Facebook Live stream target

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have a stream through my Wowza Streaming Engine that has live closed captions, and I wanted to show the stream on Facebook Live.

I got everything working except the captions. Even though they are visible through JWPlayer, they don’t seem to be show up in the Facebook video player. All the tutorials I found available for Facebook only discuss uploading an SRT file for captions, which works for previously recorded videos but isn’t a solution for real-time live captioning.

Is it possible to pass live captions from Wowza to Facebook Live?

Thank you,

Bill

Hello,

At this time Facebook does not support captions within RTMP onTextData messages which will be needed to support CC with Wowza.

Best,
