Open vs. Closed Captions

Closed captions (CC) are added as a separate track for existing subtitles that viewers can turn on or off using the YouTube player controls. Open captions, on the other hand, are permanently burned into the video and cannot be turned off. YouTube’s subtitle generators usually create open captions because the closed ones can be created automatically via the YouTube Studio for free.

How are automatic captions possible?

What’s the difference between open and closed captions?

Closed captions can be turned on or off by the viewer and are added as a separate track on platforms like YouTube. Open subtitles are often called “hardcoded subtitles”; they are permanently embedded into the video and cannot be turned off, which means that captions are always visible.

What’s the difference between subtitles and captions?

Subtitles are designed for viewers who can hear the audio but need the dialogue translated or displayed as text. Captions, especially closed captions, include not just the spoken content but also important sounds, speaker IDs, and sound effects, making the video content accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Often, those terms are used interchangeably.
