How to turn on subtitles on YouTube

YouTube is home to millions upon millions of videos, and chances are the number of videos you come across is a fraction of everything. This is because YouTube is also available in other countries where English isn’t the spoken language. This can be an issue if you’re trying to watch a video in a different language but don’t understand what’s going on.

Thankfully, subtitles do exist and if you want to be able to understand what’s being said in a video, then here’s how you can turn on subtitles in a YouTube video.

Turn on subtitles on YouTube

Desktop

Go to the YouTube video you want to turn on subtitles for
Click the subtitle button

Once you click it, subtitles should appear in the video

If the subtitles appear aren’t in your language, you can click the gear icon, click on Subtitles/CC and then select your language

Mobile

Launch the YouTube app
Go to the video you want to watch
Tap on the “CC” button at the top right corner of the video to turn on subtitles

If you don’t see the subtitles in your language, tap on the three dots icon

Tap on Captions
Select the language you want

Why can’t I turn on subtitles for some videos?

If you ever come across a video that you cannot turn on subtitles for, there’s a reason for that. This is because sometimes when it comes to subtitles, it’s up to the creator to include them. This means that depending on the video and who the creator is trying to target, they may or may not bother to include subtitles.

For example, if a video was created specifically for people of that region to watch, the creator may not bother to include subtitles. But if a video was created in a different language but the creator was hoping to capture a wider audience, they may include subtitles in multiple languages, so your mileage may vary.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
