subtitles is one of those things that the YouTube algorithm actually takes very
serious I don't know why this is so considering most of my own videos that
are subtitled like maybe 10% of the people who watched actually clicked on the
CC which is the subtitle tab but the YouTube algorithm actually takes it
serious so I think we should take it serious too - so in today's video I will be
showing you how you can actually add subtitles to your YouTube videos whether you are
editing the automatically generated subtitles by YouTube or you actually
want to add a new file by yourself I'm going to be sharing with you how you can
actually add YouTube subtitles to your YouTube videos keep watching if you are

so you want to go to the
homepage of your channel from there you go directly to YouTube studio and then
you locate the particular video you want to edit the subtitle or add the
subtitle right now this is the video I want to use and I'm just going to click
on edit that pencil icon then on the left side you scroll down to subtitles
click on subtitles and as you can see automatically
YouTube has already published a subtitle on it... the english subtitle but
what you will notice with this subtitie is that there is a lot of errors and
blunders on the subtitles mostly that's how it is on every video until you edit
it so you just click on edit on classic studio so it will bring you to the editing
page, and here you just click on edit so once you click on edit you will have the
option of editing the things here or you can actually upload a file you can also
download this particular edit I mean this particular subtitle
already Auto generated by YouTube so what you want to do..youwant to upload a file let's
say you've given your video to a transcription agency and they've already
transcripted or captioned your video and they just sent you the file what you
need to do is click on upload a file okay so it's telling you that uploading
a file will overwrite this version of English which is fine so you choose the
particular type so your transcription agency will tell you it is a transcript
or a subtitle file, so whichever one it is you click on it and you choose file
so once you are able to choose whatever file it is then you click on upload so that
is that for uploading a file.
now let's say you want to edit these words by
yourself then you just click on this then you play the video it's a shopping
vlog today okay so I mentioned vlog here not blog, so I'm just going to edit that
as
you can see there's a lot of errors in here
okay then you continue like that I'm
actually going to an African shop hopefully they open today
so immediately you start typing, the video will stop playing so that you'll be able to type in whatever you
want to type in then you continue this process until you are through with
everything you want to edit, until you are satisfied and after that what you
need to do is just click on publish edits and I've noticed that just like
I've learned you might be wondering what is the importance of
subtitling your videos. I believe that it helps the YouTube algorithm to
actually be able to quickly recognize to be able to quickly recognize those
keywords especially when you are saying those keywords that you are trying to rank
for in your video so it is important it is important and you should take it important
so subtitles published then you can exit and that is it let's go back to our
YouTube studio and here will be so you just refresh and you'll be able to see
that the edited subtitles has now been published this is the first one we
saw earlier it was published automatically by YouTube right now the
edited one published by the Creator so that is how you can actually subtitle
your videos I hope this is helpful thank you so much guys for watching
