Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Captions

1. Open the Facebook App

Start by opening the Facebook app on your mobile device.

2. Create a New Reel

Navigate to the home screen or your profile page and tap on “Create Reel.” This will bring up a new screen where you can either:

  • Record a new video using the camera option, or
  • Select a pre-recorded video from your device gallery.

3. Edit Your Video

Once your video is selected or recorded, you’ll be taken to the editing screen. Here, you can:

  • Add music
  • Insert text
  • Apply various effects

When you’re satisfied with the look of your video, tap the “Next” button.

4. Enable Automatic Captions

On the next screen, scroll down to find the “Closed Captions” option. Tap on it, and you’ll see a toggle switch labeled “Automatic Closed Captions.” Turn this switch on to enable automatic captions for your video.

5. Review and Post

Facebook will use speech recognition to automatically generate captions based on the audio in your video. Once captions are enabled, go back to the previous screen to:

  • Add a description
  • Include tags
  • Make any final adjustments

When everything is ready, tap “Share Now” to post your reel with closed captions.

And there you have it! Your Facebook Reel will now include automatically generated captions, making it more engaging and accessible for all viewers. If you found this guide helpful, be sure to like and share it with others who might benefit.
