#### How do I add captions to my videos in Kaltura?

All Kaltura videos receive AI-generated auto captions. This includes videos that have been uploaded onto the Kaltura platform but may have originated elsewhere. Auto captions are generally accurate, but they are not perfect. Kaltura closed captions must be edited to ensure your video is accessible. To edit a video’s captions, please follow the instructions below. You can access your videos through A-State MediaSpace or Canvas. Use the same steps on both platforms.

1. Log in to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**[MediaSpace](https://astate.mediaspace.kaltura.com/ "Link to A-State Media Space")**</span> using your A-State credentials.
