Twitch has added native support for viewers to enable closed captions (or subtitles) while watching livestreams. All you have to do is send that data to Twitch along with your video and audio. In this video, we'll go through the simplest method for setting that up in OBS Studio so that you can widen your reach as a creator and offer viewers the ability to enable subtitles for your stream.

  • I know adding closed captions isn't the MOST exciting of topics but I'm a big believer in making content as accessible as possible, and this could make a HUGE difference to certain members of your audience! Thanks as always for supporting the channel 🙌

    • Great content~

    • Actually you can do real-time both normal and translated captions easily using Speech Translator browser extension.

  • I am actually someone who has closed captions on most videos I watch 🙂 it's because I want to watch a video but cannot have the volume up too loud and because of this I made sure I had closed captions installed on my OBS for my stream as I knew how handy it was for myself so I love this video to spread the word so that it helps other people 🙂

  • I don't watch youtube videos without CC, and now that it's becoming more common on twitch, I'm getting more excited. I lost a HUGE chunk of my hearing in the Army, and CC is the only way I can still properly enjoy video mediums. Thank you for this! Hopefully everyone sees it, and makes this the standard!

  • I honestly thought this was going to be one of those captions on screen at all times tutorials. I'm happy that it's fully customisable for the viewers! Accessibility and options are always a win and I'll be installing this too. :D

    @akversus@akversus3 жыл бұрын

    • Yeah, totally agree. Giving your viewers the option to enable/disable is a big reason I'd love to see more channels using this.

      @GamingCareers@GamingCareers3 жыл бұрын

  • Good video! I've been using this for a while myself and yeah, absolute no brainer. No performance hit, it's baked right into Twitch and most importantly for anyone worrying: it can be toggled off with a single click for the viewer (NOT "baked" into the video permanently). There's no downside and only a huge upside to being more accessible

  • That's genuinely amazing.. this will legit help anyone expand to a whole new spectrum of viewers. I want to also provide content for the deaf & hard of hearing. (I was almost deaf myself but have extensive surgies to thank for my ability to hear to this day) Thanks a million for this video. Keep up the amazing work.

As I speak English in my chat box but I have a friend who is Italian but doesn't understand English, so they copy what I say in English and post into Google translator then reply back to me in English using Google Translator. Any help will be very much appreciated and thank you again!
