How to Edit Closed Captioning in YouTube Videos

Please note that you will need to click on Creator Classic.


  1. YouTube automatically generates captions for most videos when they’re uploaded using speech recognition technology. These machine-generated captions are rarely if ever fully accurate. However, if their accuracy is decent and captions can be perfected with only a few minor corrections, the easiest way to correct them is to do so directly in YouTube.
  2. Go to your Video Manager.


  1. Next to the video you want to edit captions for, click the drop-down next to "Edit"  Subtitles/CC.


  1. Click the caption track you want to edit.


  1. Click Edit above the video.


  1. Make necessary corrections in the transcription on the left.


  1. Save your changes.
