For each major release, Moodle HQ creates a number of screencasts to showcase step-by-step new features and improvements. Certain screencasts, starting with Moodle '''3.2''' have translations enabled.
'''Note: In September 2020, Youtube disabled community contributed subtitles.'''
This means the subtitles may be translated online, on YouTube. ''(Note not all HQ screencasts have this feature enabled.)''
