YouTube Will Discontinue Community Captions Feature in September
What happened: YouTube will discontinue the community caption feature on September 28, 2020, according to a YouTube Help article. The community captions feature permits people to submit transcriptions or translations of videos for YouTube creators to use on their videos. YouTube creators can still publish their own captions, use automatic captions or use third-party tools and services. Deaf and hard of hearing creators like Rikki Poynter and users have criticized the platform’s decision to shut down a major accessibility feature.
