How to Add Auto Captions to Instagram Stories (New Captions Sticker and Feature for Stories)

You can now automatically subtitle videos using the Captions sticker that Instagram has added to Stories. This feature is basically a revamped version of the Threads by Instagram captioning app that was popular a few months ago and you'll be able to bleep words in videos in addition to add captions. In this tutorial, we show you how to use the Captions feature in Instagram as well as how to auto subtitle videos longer than 15 seconds using Kapwing, which works on any device.
