Rev, I'd like to know how to force them to display when the video has no [cc] button and the ⚙ Settings has no Subtitles/CC in the list ?

I saw this and decided to just buy your services for 5 of my top subscriber adding videos - HOLY COW, 3 HOUR TURN AROUND and so affordable!!! Definitely pays for itself with the adsense it'll make with the added SEO. SO IMPRESSED

The iframe embed code works like a charm for me! I suggest people watch the video to make sure captioning is right before sharing with a class, but a nice workaround for online classes during the coronavirus quarantine. Thank you for this!!!

Thanks so much for the help! Very thankful for this video!

[CashIsClearLS]

THANK YOU!!! This was great. Just did it for my first video.

[BluBambu]

The best tip for this that we've seen. Thanks REV!

[sjbealeelts]

Fantastic, thanks! Is it possible to set the captions for it to *show auto-translated captions in a specific language?* We have bilingual legislation here so turning it on would be great.

Hello! Thanks for the very informative and short explanation on how to enable captions automatically, as someone who does not have english as a native language, my speech can be a bit hard to understand, so this will be useful as i started adding captions to all my videos, it's handy to have them enabled by default, better than having users not understand me, and not seeing the that there are captions avaliable for them.

[DataAnalyticsIreland]

That is a great tip thanks a million, question I have English and Hindi subtitles, will it default to Hindi if that person speaks Hindi?

[Canvasplannervisual]

Weird non of the suggestions works on our videos. The subtitles still doesn't show. Any ideas?

Why is it difficult for someone to answer my question. I was watching a Chinese drama, and it is listed in the caption English caption, so when I click on the English caption, it said it is on, but when I go back to the drama it does not work, still showing the Chinese caption. Why?

[cultivatedtresses]

You saved me a lot of frustration. Thank you!

[thanhbinhdo]

thanks a lot bro!!! it is really useful video.

[Yellow-Rose]

How can I watch a YouTube video in a foreign language that I don't speak but the video does not offer CC. How can I get subtitles, or some sort of translation for a viewer like me?

[victoriabarella]

I want to know if you could show me how to force cc to a video, not my own, to have captions.

[anothersio]

thanks for the useful vid, but how about when the vid has several subtitles, which language will this automatically set to?
