To watch a downloaded video with captions or subtitles, the video must be available to download and it must contain a caption or subtitle file. Learn more at How to download a video.
To download the caption files to your computer, follow these steps:
-
- Log in to your account through Vimeo.com.
- Go to your library and select the video you’d like to download subtitles for
- Select Subtitles and audio from the left navigation tab
Once you’ve downloaded the files, you’ll need to use them with a media player that supports caption files. We recommend VLC because it is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and file formats. You can download it for free here.
Once you've installed VLC, follow these steps to watch your downloaded video with subtitles:
- Open the downloaded video file in VLC Media Player.
- From the menu, click Subtitles, then Add Subtitle File...
- Select the downloaded .SRT file, click Open, and enjoy!
