Live feeds captions

In the past I've mostly watched feeds through an app on my TV. This year I'm doing it more on my laptop as I've found out there's a way to do live captioning for the feeds. This is helpful for whispers and such but it's not exacat. If you watch on a computer, they can be enabled very easily. I currently use Microsoft Edge as my browser and I get the captions even if I move to a different tab. I'm seeing the captions of the feeds as I post this

So how is this done? Remember you are talking to someone who is completely computer stupid here. Also I use google chrome to watch the feeds because the microsoft edge on mine freezes up all the time.

For starters, if you don't already have it, you want to install the BBViewer Google Chrome extension, much better experience. Just go to google and search BBViewer extension for chrome. After you have that, use google again and search Google Chrome Live Caption, that will give instructions on how to enable it

Well, this is probably something I won't be able to do. I work on this computer and there are many extensions and updates I can't have because the transcription software they use is so old for many of the client hospitals it makes them not run. We couldn't even use Microsoft Edge as a browser until the other one was basically removed and they HAD to get us a patch thing to make it work. We couldn't use windows 10 until about a year ago. So, I appreciate the information, but I think I will just be safe and chug along with the old stuff.
