Allowing Captions in Videos - HTML

My site uses links to videos that use the Kaltura video player. On the Kaltura side, the videos' captions appear. However, on the HTML side, when the site is ran, the captions do not appear. Is there a tag or something that I can add to these video links in HTML to allow captions to appear?

Solution 
  • <video width="360" height="203" id="captionvideo" controls="controls">
    <source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="myvideo.webm" type="video/webm">   
    <track kind="subtitles" src="mymovidecatpion.srt" srclang="en" ></track>
</video>

    and your .srt file...
