Captioning YouTube Videos - Make your Videos Accessible

The steps below will show you how to edit the auto-captions that are generated by YouTube. YouTube will auto-caption most videos within 24 hours of the video being uploaded. This captioning, however, often requires edits by the user to insert proper grammar, punctuation, and to correct any spelling or transcription errors.
