When to use Live Captions

Completed

Live Captions is most valuable in situations where audio alone isn’t enough.

Consider using Live Captions when:

  • Audio is difficult to hear due to noise or poor quality
  • You’re working in a quiet environment where sound can't be played
  • Content doesn’t include built-in subtitles
  • You want to better follow conversations or presentations
  • You need support understanding different accents or languages

In these scenarios, Live Captions provide an immediate way to stay informed without interrupting your workflow.

Quick takeaway: Use Live Captions whenever audio is difficult to hear, unavailable, or hard to follow.
