YouTube has added new caption features for Shorts. Creators can now auto-generate captions directly within the Shorts editor and customize them with different text styles and colors.

Why It Matters: These updates improve YouTube’s creative editing tools, making Shorts more engaging and accessible. Customizable captions not only improve the viewer experience but also help creators communicate more clearly and stand out.

This is the latest in a series of improvements YouTube has made to Shorts, including changes to how views are counted (to better align with other platforms) and automatic location tagging to help users discover local content.
