Subtitles and captions in HTTP Live Streaming can be delivered using WebVTT when streaming through Brutus Media Server. Brutus supports the integration of WebVTT subtitle files alongside video segments, allowing players to display timed captions that are synchronized with the video stream. This enables viewers to select subtitle tracks for different languages or accessibility needs. By packaging subtitles within HLS streams, Brutus ensures broad compatibility with modern web players, mobile devices, and smart TVs while maintaining smooth playback.
