Needs Subtitles!

Hi everyone, I’m writing to inquire about the status of the subtitles feature for our videos. It’s been a few years since I spoke to customer support about this feature, and it’s quite disappointing that it hasn’t been implemented yet.

In 2025, it’s still not possible to have subtitles or separate audio tracks for different languages.

I kindly request that you implement this feature as soon as possible.

Hi, @Bharat_Katha !!

Are you referring to a subtitle feature, like on YouTube? I think it’s possible to create one even when using Wix’s built-in video player, with just a bit of coding. However, if you want to build it purely with Wix elements — without using custom elements — you’d probably need to overlay a text element on top of the video player to display the subtitles. Since the video player element should allow you to retrieve the currentTime, you can continuously track the playback position. By keeping subtitle texts in an array and switching them based on the current playback time, you can effectively create a subtitle feature. :innocent:

If that feature still hasn’t been released after several years, it’s probably a low development priority for Wix. I don’t think it would be too difficult to build yourself, so you might want to give it a try. Alternatively, you could look for an external video player that supports subtitles and embed it into your Wix site. :raising_hands:

No, it pertains to hosting videos on the Wix platform for rental purposes, specifically regarding the subtitles feature. Thank you for your effort, nonetheless.
