How to upload SRT caption files to YouTube

Here you'll learn how to quickly upload a SRT caption file to YouTube,

Having accurate captions not only is amazing for accessibility for those hearing impaired (or even people who will watch your content on mute), but it helps the SEO of your video by correctly showing web crawlers what's being said.

Yes, they look for captions, too. =)

Excellent, short and to the point (unlike most YT videos that want to waste your time for at least 10 minutes). Well done and thank you!

Really useful, thanks for sharing. I'm uploading a video, but the 'Add Subtitles" section is greyed out. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tutorial. Is there a way to position the subtitle? The default position is a bit too low, and I would like to move it up a bit. Thanks

Is it not possible to change font, dimension, and place of the subtitles?

Can you insert many srt files, e.g. a file for every 10 minutes to a single 45 min length video?

mine doesn't do that in plain text, whenever i upload an srt file it always has the info for like Bold </b> and i have to erase those manually, how is yours just clear

[Carrnage]

Can you provide a URL to the *.srt file you uploaded in your video?

[letsgetlost]

when I am uploading the srt file, it doesn't retain the font style and subtitle location. why is that?

When I import the srt file it doesn’t show the captions
