If you want your YouTube videos to reach as many people as possible, make sure you include closed captions to reach the deaf and hard of hearing.

The text included in your transcript will also enable your videos to rank higher in Google and YouTube.

Here are the steps to add closed captions to your YouTube video:

Transcribe your video content before starting the closed caption process
So I've opened up my text edit file on the MAC and I've transcribed all the video content
Log into your YouTube channel
Click on video manager
Select the video that you want to add closed captions to
Click on the drop down next to edit
Go to subtitles and cc
Select the video language
Click English
Click add subtitles or CC
Click English
Click transcribe and set timings
Go to your text edit file
Highlight all the transcribed video content
Copy it (command+c on the mac)
Paste it into the box (command+v on the mac)
Click set timings to sync your transcript with the video

Setting the timings will take a few minutes. Once they're ready your closed captions will automatically be published on your video
Let's check it out
Click English (setting timings..)
Make sure your cc is turned on
Play the video
Make sure your closed captions display correctly
Click publish and you'll see the message English (publishing...click to update)
And now you should have 2 green buttons English (automatic) and English
Looks like everything is fine
That's it!

Studies show captions increase the completion rate of your video from 40% to 80%. They also help your video get exposed to a larger audience and boost your search engine rankings. This helps get more exposure to your content so you can get more leads and generate more sales.
