According to studies, 92% of people watched videos without sound. That is why most social media platforms tried tools to easily turn off audio. At the same time, they also add video auto-captions for better video messaging.
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.
