Captions for Viewers Who Watch on Mute

Fri Oct 09 2026 | 1 min read

Most viewers scroll fast, and many watch with the sound off. Captions let them follow along.

Keep them short

Show a few words at a time so the eye can keep up.

Make them readable

Use a clear font, strong contrast and a size that fits a phone screen.

Place them well

Keep captions away from the edges and from buttons that apps place on top of the video.

Check the words

Auto captions make mistakes. Read them before you post.
