Presentation: problem with figure captions

Question

I am using LaTeX to make a presentation and I do not want to have captions labeled "Figure 1: " etc., so I followed the help from this page:

\setbeamertemplate{caption}{\raggedright\insertcaption\par}

that worked fine and I got only mine caption without "Figure:" before it. However, when I load the package subcaption (which I need because I am also doing subfigures), the above command stops working and it shows "Figure:" before the captions. Is there any way to use a package subcaption and be able to get rid of those at the same time in presentation?

Answer 1

If you want to use the subcaption package, you can use the mechanism of the caption package to change the appearance of the captions

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[labelformat=empty]{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{figure}
\caption{text}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
