FAQ

Yes, we can make your video content available to a larger audience when captions are added.

If you want to reach deaf, hard-of-hearing viewers, or speakers of different languages, captions help these groups understand your videos.

You can use two types of caption files:

• Caption file (recommended): This file contains the text and other information to time your captions with your video.
• Transcript file: This file only contains the text. If you upload a transcript, the video player will have to determine when the words should be displayed. Transcript files take extra time to process and only work for English and Japanese.
