Live translations on YouTube

The YouTube logo

CaptionKit can now send live translations to your YouTube live stream. Viewers turn on CC in the YouTube player to read along, timed to the video.

  • Send one of your room's translations or the original language. YouTube shows one caption language per stream.
  • In YouTube Studio, turn on closed captions in your stream's settings, choose POST captions to URL and copy the captions ingestion URL.
  • Paste it into the YouTube card under Integrations on the Broadcast Controls page. Translations are sent whenever you broadcast.
  • Use Normal latency on the stream so the text lines up with the video.
