How to Add Subtitles to YouTube Videos
Adding subtitles to your YouTube videos is a great way to help engage your audience. While subtitles benefit viewers with hearing impairment, they have additional benefits as well. For example, you can add subtitles in various languages; allowing you to communicate with a larger audience. Additionally, if your share you videos on social media, your subtitles can be seen on mobile devices as viewers "scroll by" your video in their news feed - thus giving you an opportunity to catch their eye.  So, let's learn how we add subtitles to YouTube.

STEP 1

The first thing you need to do is to make sure you're logged into your YouTube account and then pull up the video you want to add your subtitles to.  Under the video, click the "Video Manager' button.

STEP 5

Now, you'll see your video and a corresponding  timeline underneath the video.  YouTube will try to interpret your audio and will populate the fields with the text it believes should be used for your subtitles.

​YouTube does a good job at guessing what your subtitles should be, but there are bound to be a few mistakes.  To fix those mistakes, click the blue 'Edit' button.

STEP 6

Congrats! You've made it to the final step.  Here is where you can correct your subtitles and make sure they appear onscreen at the right time.  Underneath your video, there is a timeline with text that correlates to the timing of your video.  If the text is incorrect, you can edit it in the boxes to the right of your video. Additionally, you can move text forward or backward in your timeline by editing the text boxes to the right of your video. 

Once your subtitles look great, be sure to hit the blue, 'Publish edits' button.
