Contribute subtitles and closed captions to YouTube Channels

Captioners:

Some channels let you contribute subtitles and closed captions to their videos. They’re viewable on the video by clicking on the [CC] icon in the player. Approved content is owned by the video owner.

Video Owners:

  • Go to Video Manager
