Description

### Impacted plugin

VideoPress

### What

I would like a new API for uploading subtitle files to videopress

### How

As the operator of an E-learning platform with hundreds of short videos that we offer with multilingual subtitles in over 20 languages, I need an API to programmatically upload .vtt files. Manually uploading the language files via the Videopress player is very time-consuming and error-prone.

The issue identifies the VideoPress plugin and requests an API for programmatically uploading .vtt subtitle files. No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by locating the VideoPress API area and existing upload behavior. Done means the requested multilingual subtitle upload API is implemented and verified.
