5. After uploading the video, you have the option to upload a caption/subtitle file. Open the video options by clicking on the gear icon and scroll to the "Caption(s)" section. In here one caption file (.VTT format) per language can be uploaded. Close the options screen and make use of the language switcher on top of the media manager to switch the language of the video file. This way a caption file can be uploaded for multiple languages.

Note: to add a title and description to videos, please see the article “How to add and edit titles and descriptions in the Media Manager”.

A thumbnail can be specified on the site that hosts the video (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, or others). So for Youtube, click the 'Share' option on the video page, select 'Start at' and fill in the time you want to start the video from. Finally, copy the generated link and paste it in the video module in your release.

It's also possible to embed a video in your release text.
