@webfliccy Looks like this is something you contributed to the curriculum, is there a closed captions toggle for these CSS scrims?

There is no toggle and in advance in case, auto-generating is something that you shouldn’t consider because it will not translate everything accurately. Type out the closed captioning is much more accurate compared to auto-generating captions.

@jelewi90 This might not be something we can accommodate. Those Scrims were not made by a maintainer from the TOP team as far as I can tell, so we don't actually have any control over them. We will investigate though.

After searching around, I think Scrimba doesn't support subtitles/captions at all natively, so there is no way for us to add it. There are workarounds involving browsers/extensions autogenerating them, but nothing that adds them to the scrim itself

Hi @jelewi90,

I tried adding captions to that tutorial on Scrimba, but as @Asartea mentioned that there is no way to add captions to Scrimba like on YouTube. I have sent them a report, and let's see if they do something about it. The good news is there are many great alternatives available. One such resource I know of is MDN Web Docs.

But if you find documentation boring and prefer a more practical learning approach, we have:

freeCodeCamp: You will learn HTML, CSS, and web design by reading and working on projects. This is a great resource, and you will also receive a certification upon completion.
Another option I can suggest, although slightly controversial, is w3schools. It could be a great resource for beginners learning CSS.

If you face any difficulties anywhere please drop me an email([email protected]) or maybe reach out to me on twitter. I wish you good luck in your journey to be a developer :)
