Abstract:

This specification defines WebVTT, the Web Video Text Tracks format. Its
main use is for marking up external text track resources in connection
with the HTML <track> element. WebVTT files provide captions or
subtitles for video content, and also text video descriptions [MAUR],
chapters for content navigation, and more generally any form of metadata
that is time-aligned with audio or video content.

This specification is based on the Draft Community Group Report of the
Web Media Text Tracks Community Group.

This document was published by the W3C Timed Text Working Group as a

If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please use the
GitHub repository. All comments are welcome. W3C publishes a Candidate
Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be stable
and to encourage implementation by the developer community. This
Candidate Recommendation is expected to advance to Proposed

Please see the Working Group's Implementation Report.

For this specification to exit the CR stage, at least 2 independent
implementations of every feature defined in this specification need to
be documented in the implementation report. The implementation report is
based on implementer-provided test results for the test suite. The
Working Group does not require that implementations are publicly
available but encourages them to be so.

The Working Group has not identified features "at risk" for this
specification.

A cumulative summary of all changes applied to this version since the
WebVTT First Public Working Draft was published is available at Changes

previous Working Draft is available.
