Closed Captions, Subtitles & Transcripts

YouTube has powerful tools for viewing and creating Closed Captioning, Subtitles and Transcripts. Enabling these attributes for your videos can greatly improve accessibility, and help folks better comprehend your content.

I personally make use of Closed Captions and Subtitles on a regular basis since I have hearing damage and struggle to hear the audio on some videos. Comprehension of the content with CC is much better.

We'll break the subject matter into two major groups of

Users and Creators.

Users:

Anyone who views YouTube Videos, and has or doesn't have a YouTube account, and does not upload or create videos is a YouTube User.

Creators:

Anyone who has a YouTube account, and uploads and creates videos is both a User and a Creator.
