I'm trying to embed youtube video with YouTube iframe.
The video has a yt:cc=on tag, which means captions will load by default.
(The attribute cc_load_policy=1 force loading captions, even if the user doesn't want it.)
I'm using flash embedding (AS3) which support the cc_load_policy attribute. But if i set it to cc_load_policy=0, captions are shown because video has yt:cc=on tag.
Is there any way to hide captions even the video has yt:cc=on? Thanks.
From what I read, the cc_load_policy only supports one value which is 1 and that's also the default unless the user disabled captions. so it looks like you can only force captions on and not off... hope this helps.
Values: 1. Default is based on user preference. Setting to 1 will cause closed captions to be shown by default, even if the user has turned captions off.
It is undocumented, but setting cc_load_policy to 3 seems to work at the moment.
I usually set both cc_load_policy & iv_load_policy to 1 to force enable captions and both to 3 to force disable them.
That answer helped me https://stackoverflow.com/a/42300398.
