Expressive Captions are now available on YouTube

Expressive captions are now available on YouTube videos in English across all devices, providing our viewers a more immersive content experience by displaying the intensity of speech in all caps, expressions of sounds like sighs and gasps, as well as noises from the environment.

YouTube videos in English uploaded after October showcase these expressive captions, and we’ll continue rolling this feature out on more videos.

Expressive captions use AI to communicate things like tone, volume, environmental cues and human noises from the audio playing on a device.
