In our second blog of the series, we\u2019ll discuss how to add captions\/subtitles to YouTube videos you don&#8217;t own.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/accessibility-online-video-stats\/#social\"><strong>more than 500 million hours<\/strong><\/a> of video content is watched on YouTube. While many of these videos are watched for pure entertainment, there&#8217;s also a large audience using YouTube content in educational settings. Incorporating YouTube videos as supplemental material in school course content has become quite common, but it has also posed an accessibility challenge in terms of Section 508 closed captioning compliance \u2013 educators are often left wondering if they need to (or how they can) get subtitles on YouTube videos without CC that they do not own.<\/p>\n<p>Look no further! In this post, we&#8217;ll go over important considerations and a quick life hack for adding subtitles to YouTube clips that you don&#8217;t own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#DEEFF5;color:#000000\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/ht-youtube\"><u>Read the how-to guide: adding captions to YouTube \ud83d\udcd3<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Do you need to caption YouTube videos?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3>For education<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to accessibility, there are numerous reasons to add captions to educational videos. To better understand how\/why students are using captions, we conducted a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/rs-student\">national research study with Oregon State University<\/a><\/strong> that proved captions are beneficial to students in learning environments. The results? 98.6% of students find captions helpful \u2013 almost ALL of them! In fact, 75% of students reported using captions as a learning aid. Considering the number one reason students use captions was to help them focus on video content, the provision of closed captions is proven to benefit more than just students who may be d\/Deaf or hard of hearing.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-22823 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brand-refresh-blog-images-300x300.png\" alt=\"98.6% of all students found captions helpful\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" \/><br \/>\nOn top of that, the inclusion of closed captions allows students a greater degree of flexibility to watch videos in sound-sensitive environments. For example, watching video in the library while studying to aid in comprehension, to help with spelling\/understanding complex terminology, or improve comprehension of professors with heavy accents. In some cases, you may also be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/us-laws-video-accessibility\/\">legally required to provide captions<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>For compliance<\/h3>\n<p>If an educational institution accepts federal funding, they are bound by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/learn\/accessibility\/accessibility-laws\/\">Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act<\/a><\/strong> of 1973 to make all resources and communication universally accessible to people with disabilities. For d\/Deaf or hard of hearing people, this means adding closed captions to video content. Many state colleges accept federal funding and thus must caption any video used inside or outside of the classroom as part of coursework.<\/p>\n<p>Even if an educational institution does not accept federal funding, some states requires observance of Section 508 compliance to make video accessible with closed captioning. Additionally, state schools are subject to accessibility requirements of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/wp-ada\">Title II of the ADA<\/a><\/strong>. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) categorizes all educational institutions as &#8220;places of public accommodation,&#8221; which means it is against federal law to discriminate against people with disabilities. This creates the requirement that all schools should caption videos used for educational purposes, and these requirements extend even to online-only classes.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Can you (legally) caption YouTube videos you don&#8217;t own?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to getting subtitles on YouTube videos without CC available, a lot of people wonder whether there is a conflict between copyright law and accessibility law. Typically, providing accessible educational content is considered <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/resources\/recorded-webinars\/how-copyright-and-fair-use-impact-third-party-captioning-for-educational-video\/\">fair use under copyright law<\/a><\/strong>. However, you still want to avoid illegally copying, publishing, or distributing the video \u2013 fortunately, we&#8217;ve got simple solutions to transcribe and\/or caption videos without republishing them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#DEEFF5;color:#000000\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/ht-youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download the guide: adding captions to YouTube<\/a> \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How Do You (Legally) Caption Videos You Don&#8217;t Own?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3>The life hack<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Google Chrome user, the browser offers a quick fix to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgethacks.com\/how-to\/generate-live-captions-for-any-streaming-video-audio-file-using-chromes-desktop-app-0384454\/\">generate live captions on any streaming video or audio file<\/a><\/strong>.
