How to Add Captions on YouTube Videos

Adding captions or subtitles is a must when uploading videos to YouTube.

Accurate captions or subtitles can have a big impact on video ranking and video accessibility.

Google is now using captions to pull videos into the search results too.

So let me show you exactly how to add captions to YouTube videos.

The first option is by using the automatic YouTube-generated captions and correcting them manually.
This is great if you have the time.

The second option is using a third-party platform. I’m going to use Rev for this as they are the most well-known company for providing accurate transcripts and captions.

Can you add subtitles to a YouTube video on mobile? Like, if you made the video ok your phone, and tried to upload it from your phone, could you add subtitles in say... the app version of YouTube Studio?

Quick question: how come I have uploaded some videos and only one got subtitles auto-generated in English and all the others video didn't? And as your video shows, Auto-Translate from google option is always grey out so no possibility to add automatically generated subtitles. This is making me crazy! any help?😭

As a stenographer who writes in "real-time, " I think I can monetize helping YouTubers.
