Learn how to set up closed captions and subtitles for your stream in this tutorial and guide vid! 

Here are three methods for enabling live closed captions and subtitles on your Twitch stream including one using OBS Studio closed captions plugin (cloud closed captions, URL listed below), another for Closed Captioner Twitch Extension, and finally a surprise method that is definitely 100% viable for streaming! 


Twitch closed captioning and subtitles use Google Speech Recognition Engine to detect in real time what you are saying through your mic source, and then to give the viewer the option to turn this on or off. It works surprisingly well when I tested it! 

In the video I demonstrate how both work, and run through the settings for live closed captions & subtitles for the options too! I show how to get it all up and running, and run over some of the troubleshooting issues with closed captions too. 

Method one (Closed captions within OBS Studio) updates the Twitch player to add a new CC icon in the bottom right of the Twitch player, so is fully integrated into Twitch using their closed caption guidelines listed here; https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/guide-to-closed-captions?language=en_US

It uses this OBS Studio Plugin; https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/closed-captioning-via-google-speech-recognition.833/ 

The second method can be added to your extensions on Twitch ( https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/machinedaena/extensions ) and uses Stream Closed Captioner extension; https://dashboard.twitch.tv/extensions/h1ekceo16erc49snp0sine3k9ccbh9-1.6.3 / https://stream-cc.gooseman.codes/
