How to get subtitles to work?
Credit (Michael Pez): I am trying to get subtitles to work in Moodle. I can either see the video or a black screen with the subtitles. But I can't seem to get both to show at the same time. I've tried uploading an MP4 and a Webm with the corresponding VTT file.
The video and VTT file work in VLC so I am fairly sure the VTT file is correct.

Credit (Greg Bird): As a rule, I do not generally upload videos into Moodle, as it is not a streaming media service and can cause issues of bandwidth, performance and student experience. You also pay for data, so it can hike up the cost of hosting
My own preference is to host video externally in a dedicated video streaming service (YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura). All of these services have good support for subtitles and many will have inbuilt voice-to-text transcription services.
