YouTube is currently testing multi-audio tracks and is also rolling out the new live automatic captioning feature to the general YouTube audience.
Add multilingual audio tracks on YouTube
On Thursday, YouTube announced that it has begun rolling out multi-audio track support for videos to a select group of creators. The move will allow users to add multiple audio tracks to their videos, ultimately enabling multilingual content that allows viewers to switch between their respective language tracks. The introduction of multiple audio tracks will also help creators who want to add descriptive audio for blind or low-vision viewers.
Additionally, YouTube is rolling out its automatic captioning feature for live streams more broadly, a feature that was previously only available to users with 1,000 or more subscribers.
This feature allows streamers to set automatic subtitles. YouTube is working to expand support for the system to all 13 supported subtitle languages.
