Captions

The Captions channel allows you to display story-time, points, or other status changes. The key features are:

  • Add two different lines of text

  • Update this text whenever you wish by publishing to captions channel

  • Style top and bottom text line independently of each other

Configuring the Captions channel

The Caption channel is displayed on the left of the virtual desktop underneath the player profile image. If a player is using a mobile phone, they won't see the caption as it's not visible in mobile view.

To adjust the colour, font, text size and position - above or below the channel icons - navigate to Configuration > Channels > Click Captions and then click the pencil & ruler icon in the top right hand corner.

Publishing to the Caption channel

Although it's nice to select a persona, the persona is never seen in the caption channel.

When using the caption to communicate the current exercise date/time, tagging the inject can help make the MEL more easy to read but it's not necessary.
