Processing

My Media will take additional time to process your video. While the video is processing, an animation indicating that the video is still processing will display in the video player. The amount of time it takes is dependent on file size, duration, and quality. Generally processing takes about 2-3 times the video's duration.

Auto-Captions & Accessibility

After the video has been processed, My Media will automatically generate captions for your video. The captions might take up to two hours to appear. 

Important: While the automatically-generated captions are mostly accurate, for your captions to be considered accessible, you must review and edit your video's captions for accuracy.
