How do I add captions to my Page's video on Facebook?

 

You can add captions to your Page's video to make it accessible to a broader audience. You can either automatically generate captions and edit them, or you can upload a SubRip (.srt) file.

Automatically Generate Captions for Your Page's Video

1. Click Share a photo or video at the top of your Page's timeline.
2. Click Upload Photos/Video and select a video from your computer.
3. Click Publish.
4. Once your video has been published, click Generate from the banner at the top of your post.
5. Edit the captions and click Save To Video.

Note: Generating captions for videos is currently only available in US English.

Add Captions to Your Page's Video With a SubRip (.srt) File:

Make sure that your caption files are correctly named and formatted before you upload them.

1. Click Share a photo or video at the top of your Page's timeline.
2. Click Upload Photos/Video and select a video from your computer.
3. Click Captions, then click Upload SRT File.
4. Choose a .srt file from your computer.
5. Select an optional Default Language. If you select a default language, captions will appear in this language when a viewer's preferred language isn't available.
6. Finish adding details to your video and click Publish.

To add captions to an existing video on your Page, find the post on your Page's timeline, click in the top-right corner, select Edit Post and follow the steps above.
