How do I manage professional captioning roles in Studio Settings as an admin?
If your district has a contract for professional captioning, admins can create and manage added captioning roles for Studio users in Studio Settings.
Notes:
- By default, admins have access to all service types and all teachers in the district are automatically assigned the Teacher role.
- Professional captioning is only available if your district contracts with professional captioning services Verbit or Cielo24.
