Closed captions are only available in the primary language of the video. In case you don&#8217;t understand these, you can use Google Chrome to get live captions. Then, you can change your caption preferences. You can also turn off live captions while playing a video. You can do this in the middle of the video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closed_captions_are_only_available_in_the_primary_language_of_the_video\"><\/span>Closed captions are only available in the primary language of the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there are a variety of requirements for closed captions, the majority of these have the same basic requirements. Closed captions must match the spoken words in the audio, including accents and non-speech elements, and must appear at the same time as the audio track. In order to be legible, captions must be presented at a rate of three to seven seconds per second and must run from beginning to end. They should not block any other visual content.<\/p>\n<p>Subtitles are a common option, but they are not the same as closed captions. While closed captions are more accessible for people with disabilities, subtitles are more popular with all viewers. Subtitles are essentially bitmap images embedded in the video and can be toggled on or off. They are also better for deaf or hard of hearing viewers. Using subtitles can help increase a video&#8217;s share count by 15%.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Chrome_allows_you_to_get_live_captions\"><\/span>Google Chrome allows you to get live captions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can now turn on Live Captions on YouTube from Google Chrome. This feature is integrated with Global Media Controls. Toggle the option in the media controls panel to enable Live Captions. If you want to turn off Live Captions, click the &#8220;disable&#8221; button to close the caption overlay window. You can also permanently turn off Live Captions. You can also find the Live Captions toggle in Chrome&#8217;s settings panel.<\/p>\n<p>Live captions are only available on YouTube if you use the Chrome browser. Getting them is as easy as toggling on the feature and playing a video in Chrome. To turn them on or off, you simply click the playback controls icon at the top-right corner of your Chrome window, nestled between the Extensions toolbar and your Google Account profile icon. When you click on this icon, you will be presented with a pop-up window with a thumbnail of the media you&#8217;re watching. Tap the button next to Live Caption to start getting the captions in real time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_customize_your_caption_preferences\"><\/span>You can customize your caption preferences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use an iPhone or an Android device, you can customize your YouTube caption preferences to make your subtitles appear on the screen in any way you want. You can even customize the font size and color of the subtitles to match your personal tastes. Before you can customize your captions, however, you should enable subtitles in your browser. Follow these steps to customize your subtitles. If you&#8217;re not using subtitles on your iPhone or Android device, you can enable them from the YouTube app.<\/p>\n<p>Closed captions are an excellent option for those who are hard of hearing. They make videos easier to follow for those with hearing disabilities, and they can also help anyone who wants to follow along with incomprehensible content. The options on YouTube range from stylization to captioning in different languages. Here are a few of the most important options for customized captions. Here are some tips to customize your YouTube caption preferences:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_turn_off_live_captions_in_the_middle_of_video_playback\"><\/span>You can turn off live captions in the middle of video playback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a hearing problem, it can be frustrating to watch a video with no captions. To turn off live captions in the middle of video playback on YouTube, you should first enable closed captions for that particular video. To do so, simply hover over the video and click the subtitle button. On mobile, you can also tap on the video to enable closed captions.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to turn off live captions in the middle of your video playback, go to the Settings menu in the upper-right corner of your video. Select the Caption option and select the caption style. You&#8217;ll see options for closed captioning or automatically generated subtitles. If you&#8217;re using an older Android phone, you can turn off live captions in the middle of video playback.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nv0mL_cIhGo\" width=\"501\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Live Caption on YouTube If you want to disable live caption in YouTube videos, the first thing you need to do is to enable it in your browser.
