You will be taken to the caption editor where you can review and publish.Select “Add” under the Subtitles column next to the language you just added:.Select “English” or the appropriate language.From the Video Subtitles Page, click the “Add Language” button.If you already have a transcript or caption file of your video or want to use a non-speech caption file you can also upload a file directly to YouTube. A link to some helpful keyboard shortcuts can be found in the caption editor:Ī caption file is basically just a text file.If you are editing the automatic captions and there are lots of errors, it may be easier to delete that file and start from scratch.You can test this feature by opening your video within an anonymous tab. This will stay turned on until you manually turn off subtitles (clicking the CC button under the video). Also the subtitles will be displayed in the user's system language. :) I used this id because the OP's video is not online anymore as of today ().Īnother interesting feature is that, once you have subtitles manually defined for a video (in Studio, as mentioned above), CC will be turned on by default for that video (be it using the /embed/ format or the general or even the shortened url version, such as ). Needless to say, you should replace ir1RSoPF_h4 by your video id, unless you want to watch the video from my own channel. So, in the end, it would be something like this: You can do this by adding autoplay=1 to the url. This means there's no way you can force auto-translated our auto-generated subtitles to show.īonus: when using the /embed/ form, videos do not start playing automatically. the video must have a manually defined subtitle for these parameters to work as expected.
I also faced an issue that videos would not show captions even using the parameters above and I solved this with the solution proposed on this video, which states you have to enter YouTube studio, edit the video, go to the "Subtitles" section and click the "Duplicate and Edit" option i.e. As per YouTube's documentation the parameters can only be forced for embedded videos.
