Twitter has also been finding ways to improve video quality. It even acquired the Squad video chat app. Today, Twitter enables video auto-captions. Twitter users watching videos via Android and iOS will now see auto-captions on videos when muted. For desktop or web users, they can turn the auto-captions on or off via the CC option under device settings.
