I’m in process of posting my first reel, but first doing research on the how-to’s. This video of yours is great! Clear, concise, informative, easy to follow. Thank you‼️

What if I have an audio file that I want to play over an image? Is there a way to make captions appear on that? It keeps saying 'no captions'. Thank you loved this video.

Just subscribed. Clear and succinct explanation. By the way, very crisp sound on this video. However, I´m no getting the CAPTIONS option when I press the sticker. Any reason you might know why that is?

[sybillemoore]

thank you!! it took me about 6 google searches to find this answer, so i'm so glad I found your video. super easy and helpful!

[mdrealtorchic]

So incredibly helpful! No additional apps to download! Thank you!

Nope, no "Captions" sticker for me. I am guessing for the next couple of years it will only be available for a few countries, like Reels used to be. :)

Hi Jonny. Thank you for the tutorial. I think Instagram has changed their functionality or usability because the "captions" option is not available where you showed it. Is this perhaps only available for business accounts or is there a new way? Do you know? I appreciate the help thanks!

Jonny!!! Thank you. I've been wracking my brain and checking out all kinds of tubers for this answer. You have a loyal new grateful fan!

You really helped me step my reel game up and this tip adds more creativity to the process. Thank you so much.

[lucienne-prive]

This is a great explanation however, the 'caption' option doesn't appear on my insta screen if I follow your first steps. Did I miss a setting?

[staceycoleman]

This definitely helped . I asked at least 10 people before this and I was ignored. Thank you so much sir .

[TheNewYouPodcast]

That is really amazing how the research is because I am one of those people that do not have the sound on what I’m watching a Instagram. I actually was stop when I see something interesting that I want to actually put the sound on to hear.

[shannasaurus_rex]

Is there a way to do this on a saved sound? I can get captions on some things, but most of the time if I use a saved audio, it says no captions found.

I absolutely loved and learned so much it’s gonna save so much time with the typing did not know about this caption option thanks a bunch

[RaghuRaahi]

Hi, this is a great insight. I am trying to add the caption but it only allows when you speak in the reel. What if I need to make a caption for a song in the reel. Can we do that?

[heckofathrifter]

The video I've been searching for, for months! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS 👍🏾

[vivekgadhavi]

Best bro i aplied instantly & it works amazingly🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤

[otakugains]

I have a question so on instagram you have the option of using saved audio from reels you may have liked whenever I try to use the caption option it says nothing to transcribe so how are creators adding captions for some of the audio quotes they use? Is it a app?

[gregfee]

Nice job on how to best use the text/voice combo… how can I add black outline to white text? Or a black blurred edge outline to white text? Thanks
