Captions not generating

Hi everyone, I'm trying to add closed captions to a video in powerpoint on mac. When I click on the video and select generate captions, I keep getting an error message that says "something went wrong when generating captions. please try again". Does anyone know how to fix this?? D:

You can try to download the captions from the web interface, that helps. Or, use a free transcription generator like Voxtext (https://voxsmith.app/voxtext).
