Do you produce video content online?
One way that you can maximise the potential of your content is through the use of captions and subtitles. This seemingly small detail packs many benefits, from improving accessibility for people who are deaf or hard of hearing to improving the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) on your content.
After recognising the benefits of adding captions and subtitles, let’s take a look at how we can upload them on YouTube.
Uploading captions/subtitles on YouTube

- Click ‘Subtitles’ on the left side panel.
- Click on ‘Add’.
- Click ‘Upload a file’.
