Embed video with captions

Hello,
i would like to know if there is a way to embed a video with its captions via iframe.
This is the iframe video embed code
<div style="position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; overflow:hidden;"><iframe src="//content.jwplatform.com/players/xX2xNQ5O-0rzMSYnV.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen style="position:absolute;"></iframe></div>
And here are the captions https://content.jwplatform.com/tracks/928Lmkh7.vtt how can i include the captions into the iframe.

Regards

My suggestion would be to add that VTT file as a captions track on that video in your JW dashboard. After this is done, I would expect the captions to appear inside your <iframe> embed.

You can upload your captions track from the Tracks section on the video detail page.

Hello Todd and thanks for your answer. The VTT is on the video but is not showing when the video is playing.

Yes, I see that now. I would expect this to work, so I will need to escalate this to our product manager as a bug.

The response I got from our product manager is that this is not current functionality. You would need to upload the original video to us in order to add the captions track.

Another option would be to embed the video using custom code and add the track:[] object directly. Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1406723-mp4-video-embed and https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1407438 for more details on this.
