ReelSEO Video Marketing: Youtube Videos Become More Accessible – Auto-Translate Captions in Multiple Languages

  • Muneer · 1 month ago
    hi there,
    by any chance would you know how a youtube video can automatically play the subtitles, i have a parody video where I have changed the subtitles to be funny,
    but it automatically plays as a default without the subtitles which defeats the point,
    you can see what i mean here

    or do you know any software where i can add the subtitles and upload by any chance?
    thanks

    you can enable that in your settings but would need to upload a closed caption files. currently, the video you pointed me to has the subtitles in the actual movie iteself.

    Thanks very much for your reply Mark, i accidentally sent you the wrong link probably when i was looking at related videos - this is the actual link

    I have already uploaded the closed caption files and it is on there but you actually have to switch them on still, they don't come on automatically.
    As a small temporary work around i have asked people to put on the subtitles by using an annotation but obviously it will be much better if they came on automatically,
    any help you could give would be greatly appreciated and i thank you for your reply :)

    Yup, if you want to force it in the embed, you can add &cc_load_policy=1 to the video's embed code. Hope that helps
