How To Disable Youtube Captions in a Youtube Embed Link

Question

When creating an embed link on youtube the Captions are on by default. Is there a way to disable to the captions or turning them off when embedding a youtube link?

The documentation indicates:

Make captions automatically appear for an embedded video by adding "&cc_load_policy=1" to the video's embed code.

And I need to it the other way around. I tried to use &cc_load_policiy=0 but that didn't work. I also found this question but none of the answers seem to work.

I am using also VideoJS. So maybe there is a way to do it through it...

Thanks

Answer 1

cc_load_policy (supported players: AS3, AS2) Values: 1. Default is based on user preference. Setting to 1 will cause closed captions to be shown by default, even if the user has turned captions off.

Reference

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible as it's a user-preference. The cc_load_policy refers to disabling/enabling the toggle button for the player (limited to AS3, AS2 players). And since VideoJS is based off HTML5, I'm imagining the cc_load_policy isn't available for your use either.

Answer 2

Use the same logic as for iv_load_policy and set value to 3:

For example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WJo98LfIfEA?cc_load_policy=3" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also it works great with JS API for embedded videos.
