Created by XL8 Support Team, Modified on Thu, 31 Jul at 5:23 AM by XL8 Support Team

More control, cleaner captions, and enhanced customization for conferences and online meetings

February continues with more tools to help you deliver professional, multilingual events with ease. From smarter caption management to subtitle personalization and glossary flexibility, these updates are all about giving you more control during live sessions.

Here’s what’s new:

➤ Clear Captions Instantly in EventCAT Conference

New “Clear Caption” button in Caption Overlay

Managing real-time captions during conferences is now easier. If you're using the Caption Overlay feature, you’ll now see a Clear Caption button that allows you to manually reset the text box at any time.

How to enable it:

  • Click the Settings button on the top-right of the Conference preview screen

  • Turn on Caption Overlay



  • The Clear Caption button will appear for on-demand control



This feature is available on the following plans:
- Half-day Pass
- All-day Pass
 -  Advanced Customization Plan

Make sure your session is using one of these plans and click "Start Session" to activate.


➤ New Sentence Insertion Mode in OnlineMeeting

Choose where new subtitles appear: top or bottom

EventCAT OnlineMeeting now lets you control the position of subtitles as they’re translated in real time.

Here’s how:

  • Go to Settings in the OnlineMeeting preview screen

  • Under New Sentence Insertion, choose “At the top” or “At the bottom”


This small change makes a big difference in how your audience reads and follows the flow of conversation.
