Why Open Captions Help
Many viewers consume video with no sound or low attention, so open captions carry more than accessibility alone.
They help the message survive real mobile viewing conditions.
- Silent understanding
- Higher retention
- Better accessibility
- Clearer messaging
How to Use Them Better
Keep the captions high-contrast, short, and positioned so they do not fight with the main visual or UI overlays.
- Use readable contrast
- Shorten lines
- Place consistently
- Check timing carefully
