+### Closed captions
+
+Closed captions enable a wide range of scenarios, including interoperability with Teams, Azure Communication Services Group calls, Rooms calls, and one-on-one calls. This feature ensures that users can follow along with conversations in various calling environments, **enhancing accessibility** and user experience. However, it's important to note that users need to manually select the language for captions using the UI Library out of the box, as the system doesn't automatically detect the spoken language.

Additionally, if you want to jump directly into the configuration of closed captions directly within the UI Library, you can follow our [tutorial](../../../how-tos/ui-library-sdk/closed-captions.md) for easy setup.

 ### View shared content
 
 Through the UI Library for mobile native platforms, call participants can view shared content when other participants share their screens during a Teams call. A remote participant can use stretch and pinch gestures to zoom in or out on the shared content in the call.
