Home › Learn › What Are Captions? — Complete Guide
Captions are text overlays on video that represent the spoken audio. They make videos accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers and improve engagement for viewers watching without sound.
Why captions matter
Accessibility: makes content available to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers
Engagement: videos with captions get more views — many people watch without sound
SEO: captions make video content searchable by search engines
Comprehension: captions help viewers follow along in noisy environments
Legal: many organisations are required to caption video content
