To toggle subtitles on and off click on the Closed Captioning icon in the bottom right of your video player. In order for you to be able to view subtitles for a YouTube video the uploader of the video will need to have added them, unless you change your account settings to display automatic captions. This article will first explain how you can turn on subtitles for the videos you watch and then walk you through adding captions to your own videos. Google and YouTube both index subtitles and transcripts much like they do your video’s description, unless you use automated captions. Practicing better SEO can get your videos ranked higher in search results. Closed captioning can also be useful for you as a YouTuber because it helps with your SEO, or search engine optimization. Subtitles are useful to viewers who have hearing impairments, whose first language is different from yours, or who are unable to watch your video with sound. By captioning your YouTube videos you help to make them accessible to more potential viewers.
