Wow! Thank you for this amazing tip! I was starting to get frustrated and your video tip came up! You saved the day!

Just used this to turn on Spanish subtitles for translated versions of our learning resources. After much searching on how to do this, this solution was really helpful THANKS

Worked In May 2018, just did it and it worked like a DREAM!!!

[Archeia]

Thank you for this! It was driving me nuts since I put all my instructions in CC <3

[paolomessina]

can someone put the instructions for the "transcribe" set up?? yt:cc=on is not working for me

[keawewong]

Myth buster: Yes, it still works. This video is correct. If it doesn't work for you, my guess is you may miss one important step – set up your transcribe and publish it. It didn't work for me until I go back to my videos and republish my English transcribe. And of course you need the yt:cc=on tag as described in the video. Big thank you to the author.

[EasyAnderson]

Great thanks. Now can you show how to download the video so it shows the captions?

[anfanger]

why have you not enabled this on this video?? that would be much better

[Verisetti]

I don't get a black background with white lettering I get grey lettering help!

[brieann]

This won’t work for me. I still don’t see the CC beside my videos. Just the HD

[foxumon]

This is a life saver, thank you so much!!!!

[Faktulapa]

I just found that it works only when im watching my channel in incognito mode. Why its that? What does it mean? What does my viewers see? :)

[HerEcolife]

I know there is a way for the viewers to create subtitles on our videos. Just havn't figured it out yet.

[BSPoK]

That’s awesome! Thanks. Does that style work in 2023? 😅

[LathaLukose]

Hi is it still woeking. I put yt:cc=on as a tag but it doesnt work. What am i missing

[abletechmarketing]

THANK YOU! Short and sweet and PERFECTLY put!

[Adil-tbxo]

how would a viewer turn off the captions if they wanted? do they just simply turn captions off like normal?

[HaderPK]

I want every single person that watches my video to see the subtitle no matter what and that's​ not working.
