Autogenerating captions (transcript)
A transcript is generated automatically by default. When uploading a video, you have the choice of un-checking the box to skip a transcript generation.
Adding Subtitles (secondary transcript)
The secondary transcripts need to have similar timestamp formatting as the original transcript. To find this formatting, download the original transcript and then edit the text to reflect the new language.
