Add live captions

Live captions make your stream more accessible and help viewers watch without sound. Web Studio can burn captions directly into the broadcast output.

Enable captions

1. Enter Web Studio.
2. Open the Graphics panel in the right-hand sidebar.
3. Choose Captions.
4. Turn on Live Captions.
5. Select a caption style and position.

How captions work

Web Studio listens to your microphone and any guest audio in the session, then generates captions in real time. The captions appear on screen a short moment after the words are spoken.

Caption styles

You can usually choose:

• font size and color
• position (bottom, middle, or top)
• background box or transparent text
• capitalization style

Plan availability

Live captions are available on the Creator plan and above.

Good to know: Captions are burned into the video, so they appear on every platform you stream to. They are not a separate subtitle track that viewers can toggle.
