MAXIMIZE Your Reach on Twitch with Live Captions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Twitch has added native support for viewers to enable closed captions (or subtitles) while watching livestreams. All you have to do is send that data to Twitch along with your video and audio. In this video, we'll go through the simplest method for setting that up in OBS Studio so that you can widen your reach as a creator and offer viewers the ability to enable subtitles for your stream.

![💬 Add Subtitles & Closed Captions on a Live Stream [ 3-Methods! ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QPSP-Kz02GM/mqdefault.jpg)
I know adding closed captions isn't the MOST exciting of topics but I'm a big believer in making content as accessible as possible, and this could make a HUGE difference to certain members of your audience! Thanks as always for supporting the channel 🙌
Great content~
It's definitely good accommodation for ADA
Actually you can do real-time both normal and translated captions easily using Speech Translator browser extension.
I am actually someone who has closed captions on most videos I watch 🙂 it's because I want to watch a video but cannot have the volume up too loud and because of this I made sure I had closed captions installed on my OBS for my stream as I knew how handy it was for myself so I love this video to spread the word so that it helps other people 🙂
I don't watch youtube videos without CC, and now that it's becoming more common on twitch, I'm getting more excited. I lost a HUGE chunk of my hearing in the Army, and CC is the only way I can still properly enjoy video mediums. Thank you for this! Hopefully everyone sees it, and makes this the standard!
Thank you such a clear and concise video! Doing lots of research to make sure my videos are accessible and your video was the easiest to follow. Appreciate the work you’re doing (as an aspiring creator and consumer)!!
starting to get more and more into setting up my space and my streaming. been a long road and you've helped me a ton along the way so i had to stop and leave a comment. thanks man.
Thank you SO much for this! I've been wanting good CC without needing to have another window open for ages. I've put this on my OBS and can't wait to try it out on my next stream! :D
I honestly thought this was going to be one of those captions on screen at all times tutorials. I'm happy that it's fully customisable for the viewers! Accessibility and options are always a win and I'll be installing this too. :D
Yeah, totally agree. Giving your viewers the option to enable/disable is a big reason I'd love to see more channels using this.
That's genuinely amazing.. this will legit help anyone expand to a whole new spectrum of viewers. I want to also provide content for the deaf & hard of hearing. (I was almost deaf myself but have extensive surgies to thank for my ability to hear to this day) Thanks a million for this video. Keep up the amazing work.
something I kept meaning to put on and while at work today I had to YT it and being able to just add it via OBS is so much better than through twitch. :D cheers man
Good video! I've been using this for a while myself and yeah, absolute no brainer. No performance hit, it's baked right into Twitch and most importantly for anyone worrying: it can be toggled off with a single click for the viewer (NOT "baked" into the video permanently). There's no downside and only a huge upside to being more accessible
I was looking for a video like yours, well explained and clear, it has been very helpful. Thank you!
Estuve buscando un video como el de usted bien explicado y claro, me ha sido de mucha ayuda Gracias!
Great video as always Pete! I will most definitely be adding this to my OBS
Thank you sir! Was looking all over the place for this plugin and should've known you would know hahaha :D
How is it that every random issue I run into for Streaming you always have a video for it 😂LEGEND! Thank you! I was pulling my hair out with the CC Extension set up last night. Wanted to see if there were any others options and you saved the day! THANK YOU!!
That's a very nice and very quick&easy plugin. Love it, thanks for the heads up!
Thank you so much, this was helpful and makes me happy to provide this option to my community.
this video is over a year old and still helps out so much! thanks heaps
Wonderful video as always.
I don't have many viewers, barely any but I installed the plugin right away.
Love it. I have captions on everything I can. Its just so much better to watch stuff with them on!
Amazing! Super helpful, I've been wondering how to do this, thank you!
perfect exaclty what i was looking for lmao i couldnt comprehend that guide on the twitch website for the life of me
Fantastic! - I've just enabled on my streams.. will be interesting to see how it works out.. Thanks for your great tutorial
Thank you, my CC program I was using got shut down...this was very helpful for finding a new option but also an option that gives the viewers more control over them.
Thank you so much for making this wonderful video! Great explanation! Take care!
Ayyy this guy knows this stuff thanks man
Thanks for this! Really helped me out.
Thanks, this made it super easy for me.
Very cool and useful. Thank you.
works like butter thanks
This was great and easy to follow! Do you have any tips if you have multiple on your stream at a time?
Thank you so much for your tutorial!
I do enjoy the Kings' English myself - Kings County, Brooklyn NY. :D btw thank you so much for this. asking my company to integrate this.
Adding this today, thanks!
love what you've done with this. ive tried to follow but do you have a mac version for this ? the same options don't show up
Awesome vid, thanks Pete
Really helpful thanks
So i followed all the recommended steps that you were able to provide & it seems that my twitch community is unable to see the text showing up on stream when they have CC enabled. Any help?
That's really interesting, thanks for the video. What if you need CC for multiple people speaking on your stream through different mics?
How does this not have more views? *Every* streamer should have this enabled
Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for the how to videos.
Thank god! Thank you SO MUCH For this video. I have a person who is Deft and Finally! Thank you
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks so much for the video !
as a Deaf person, I wish there are more people like you. Thank you for this educational video!
Can it make live caption but input would be from desktop (e.g. game cutscene) and it would also translate it from english to another language?
This is great, thank you!
super cool. thanks so much for thsi
I love your streams buddy. Well informative. But how do you set up that background with the different games on your stream. And what is the game with the cat lady fighting that warrior. Keep up the good work
is there something similar for SLABS? I can't seem to figure out if this is compatible with it. and if it is, I can't find where to 'configure' it
Does this not work with Amd H.264? I streamed and it didn't show the cc button but it was showing in obs. Going to try x264 on my next stream but worried the quality wont be as good.
I also have a GoXLR, but I cannot find mine in the sources like your tutorial provided.
Is there another way around it, or am I missing something?
Is there a plugin like this for Streamlabs OBS too? Thanks!
Wow this is soooo cool!
I use this plugin and i am not sure if anyone actually uses but i did make timer for my chat to let people know that its there if they choose to use CC
Very cool, thank you.
I sadly can't get it to work, I've watched different videos but the issue I have is it doesn't seem to pick up my mic under preview, my mic works it just doesn't seem to want to be picked up with this plugin, I've renamed it, added it as a source and still wont get picked up, even just for testing and whilst live. Any help would be amazing! I'm using the Yeti X.
Thank you!
Is it possible to generate captions for multiple inputs? Say you have a remote guest on your stream, and you want to caption BOTH your voice AND theirs?
Hello. I moved the plugin into my OBS installation location but nothing shows up under the tools tab. I tried to find a solution online but found no applicable solution. any tips?
Is there anyway to make closed captioning default to off for viewers? It seems when using this method they are forced on and have to be manually turned off on Twitch.
Thank you
does this plugin also work for youtube livestream?
I added the zip file to the folder you recommended, and for some reason it won't add that option under tools
Does this work with streaming to youtube?
I stream on youtube and want a way to generate CC for my streams so I can assist my viewers who either are hearing impaired or just like captions.
Hey @Gaming Careers! Did you check if Live Captions also work while using restream?
Thanks Pete, great video. Unfortunately CC only works for a minute or so before it stops completely. I've tried reinstalling the plug in and putting the .dll file in to the OBS folder manually but to no avail.
I'm likely being dumb but I managed to install the plugin however I cannot find/access Tools on Streamlabs OBS...there are no menus for me at the top...could someone help me out? Thanks :)
How can I add multiple mics? Both xlr and usb.
i did all the steps you mentioned of copying it into the obs file, but it still doesn't appear on my tools section on obs, idk what i need to do for it to appear :/
So will this work for me I use NDI my gaming pc
Does this work for Streamblabs OBS or only OBS Studio? 😊
Gotta tell u the thumbnail is fire
As always thank you so very much for another awesome video from you :).
I was wondering though, is there a way in which this can be used with text chat as I don't use a microphone?
As I speak English in my chat box but I have a friend who is Italian but doesn't understand English, so they copy what I say in English and post into Google translator then reply back to me in English using Google Translator.
Any help will be very much appreciated and thank you again!
where can i find the tool settings in obs 112?
Hey I have a question. How do I live stream when I have no pc
I have a laptop with no gpu which can barely open my online zoom lessons let alone stream
I really want to stream though :(
It's not bad for a beta, I switched over from Streamlabs OSB to Studio for the plugin because I don't like most of the extensions. My big wish for Twitch is to have live captioning how Otter AI does. It's awesome on Zoom, would love to see it on Twitch natively.
Does this work with stream labs OBS as well?
is there a way to do this exact thing WITH TRANSLATION? Like let's say im speaking turkish in a stream. can i Live Caption what im saying to English?
Is it possible to force these closed captions? I dont like the other methods.
Hey:) what's the source for the stat, that 23% of ppl turn on the CC?
how can I get closed caption on just obs itself as I just broadcast on zoom
Great video, I didn’t know it was properly closed captions it produced, having tested other OBS solutions that do open subtitles (burned in). Now, if there was a way to also save a clean feed of the video stream
I guess two OBS instances with one being a virtual camera, or an NDI source, producing the clean feed, the second could act as a downstream key and do the streaming.
Is there any way to put this on translation mode? Like I speak spanish and it translates into english?
Can this also be done on Streamlabs OBS?
I am using OBS on my ubuntu. And I observed installing the themes on ubuntu is difficult. Kindly can you post a video on that.
For those using another streaming platform like Vimeo, is there a way to "burn-in" the captions in OBS, i.e. make live open captions?
answering my own question - yes. It can be done using OBS text
I do turn on the closed captions
What about if you always use push to talk?
Will this work for Streamlabs as well?
Sometimes I stream with some friends on Discord so their audio gets mixed up with the game audio. I wonder if there's something I can do to get only their voices from Discord 🤔🤔🤔
ty
Is there any chance to translate? Example I talk in Italian and I want English captions.
For anyone like me who couldn't get this to work: Open the folder you downloaded. You'll see a folder that says "obs-plugins." You'll then see 2 folders: 32bit and 64bit. I'm using OBS 64bit, so that's the folder I'm using. In that folder you'll see a .dll file. Copy that file. Next, go to your OBS folder. You're looking for obs-studio (like the video said, should be Local Disk (C:) -> Program Files -> obs-studio.) Then open up the obs-plugins folder. Open the (in my case) 64bit folder. Paste your .dll file in there. Everything should work properly now.
Thanks!
I double checked to make sure I did this correctly, and I do have the file in the correct folder. Version is now 0.20. But for some reason, I still am unable to see the Cloud Closed Captions. Would you possibly know a fix to that, or know why it's not working? I can't find out about it anywere. Sorry this comment comes 9 months later lol
@@LadyKubia Usually when someone isn't seeing a plugin showing up in OBS, it's a Visual C++ issue. Make sure you have the latest supported x64 VC runtime, then restart OBS.
Silly question, is there no way of getting captions FREE for twitch studio ?
Can u do this for SLOBS? I would use obs but you cant get alearts for it as far as i know, if you can get alearts for obs pls let me know how
This still works for Streamlabs OBS, right?
his there an options for translate any language?
It doesnt show my Chat Mic from my GOXLR.
Why is that? :(
What if i want the teammates to have CC as well through my stream?
UA-cam Mobile bullies me to have captions on on every non-german video, which means I either tell the app I'm not from germany - which means I get subtitles on german videos then - or I'll have to manually disable captions on every other video, just because the app doesn't allow you to disable captions alltogether. :/
