Answer 2

I use code from

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/capture-photos-and-video-with-mediacapture

I would like to overlay text in the video

Answer 3

Hi Kriss_p,

Which situation you need to add text in the video by code? Commonly, people use video editor tools to add caption for a video.

What's the caption file you use?

Currently, there is no API of UWP to directly add text to video by MediaCapture class.
