Subtitles are an important feature for videos, allowing viewers to understand any spoken parts in a video. This can help your video and YouTube channel become more accessible to those with hearing difficulties, as well as just making it all-around easier for people to get what\u2019s going on. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes parts of audio can be unclear, and having subtitles<\/a> can help with this immensely. YouTube does provide the option for viewers to see auto-captions, or automatic subtitles generated by YouTube, but these tend to be inaccurate. Lastly, subtitles can be used to add various language translations to your video, making it accessible to a global audience.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

In this article we\u2019ll give you a tutorial on how to add YouTube subtitles right on the site quickly and easily. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind there\u2019s also options to type them in on YouTube while you watch the video, so if you don\u2019t want to type up captions this way or don\u2019t have experience doing so, you can skip this step. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can upload a document either with timing or without timing. This means that either the document will match up to timestamps or not, which dictates what file type you can upload. Basic subtitles can be uploaded with these caption file types:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
