Thanks so much for showing this to us, Andrew! I thought I would have to add closed captions/subtitles to my video, but the automatic captions are perfect!

[AikoProspers]

Wow! Among all the tutorials I have watched, this is the most direct to the point and easy to follow! Thank youuu for this. Looking forward for your next videos. New fan here 😊

Andrew,
I really appreciate your video very I teach, at distance, who doesn't, these days, and I send my videos to youtube to clean them up and make an unlisted link and I send the link as free travel classes to 80 senior citizens. Then, YouTube's automatic captions stopped working. I've looked at more than 10 videos to help me and none of them helped. Thanks to your very easy-to-follow instructions, my seniors can see the words and REALLY appreciate the class more.
THANK YOU for making my life easier and my message clearer

You just saved me!!! Thank you! My 7 year old had to upload a video for an audition here on YouTube (not sure why they want it that way) but the auto closed caption had my baby saying a word that a 7 year old just shouldn’t say!!!! Thank you again!

Thank you so much for the clear, logical and well thought through guide to adding CC using what YT has to offer (vs just heading over to Rev!). Excellent video - much appreciated.

Very in-depth instructions on how to add CC’s! I’ve seen in the past that this was huge but also though YouTube automatically does it now. Either way awesome work :)

[queenshirin]

This is so helpful and informative! You break it down in easy to understand chunks. I’m definitely going to try adding closed captions to my videos!
