Can I remove the subtitles of a video?

Good evening, 

I am a teacher and I use Dropbox for my students. I want them to have access to the videos without the subtitles for them to learn. 

I would like to know if it is possible to deactivate them definitely in the settings. 

I want to have control over their use. 

I hope you will be able to help me. 

Otherwise, I will need to find another platform.... 

Cordially,

    Hey FrenchTeacher06, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today.

     

    At the moment, there's no way to edit a video file to remove the subtitles; Dropbox doesn't have such a feature.

     

    We appreciate your feedback though and I will pass your comments to our team.

     

    If you have any questions, do let me know!

    Hello,

    I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I can disable close captioning for the same reason.

    Regards,

    Hey EnglishTeacher88 - thanks for joining the discussion here.

     

    While there's no way to disable the closed captions from a video file, you can turn them off by clicking the closed captions icon (rectangle with two c’s) to turn on or off captions for your file.

     

    I hope this helps a tad.
