Add a line of text on top of an image slide, without editing the image itself.
What you’ll need
- The Standard plan or higher.
- A layout with an image slide, in a simple layout or in a slideshow zone. Captions are for images, not videos.
Steps
-
Open the layout (for a multizone layout, select the slideshow zone and click Details on the bar above it). Under the image in the playlist, click the Edit button (the pencil).
-
In the Edit slide window, type your text in Caption under Text overlay (up to 220 characters). Choose the Font, Text Size, Text Color and Text Location. The slide shows the caption as you type. Close the window and click Save layout (in a multizone slideshow zone, Save slideshow, then Close and Save layout).
-
Click Preview to see the caption the way your screen shows it. To remove a caption, clear the Caption box.
