   • Open your browser and go to YouTube Studio. Make sure you’re logged into your YouTube account to manage your videos.

2. Upload the Video

   • In YouTube Studio, click on the Upload video icon (a camera with a plus sign) in the top right corner.
   • Select the video you want to subtitle and set the visibility. If you don’t want it to be public, choose Private or Unlisted.
   • Complete the upload process by following YouTube’s instructions.

3. Wait for Automatic Subtitles to Generate

   • Once the video is uploaded and processed, YouTube will detect the audio language and automatically generate subtitles. This process can take a few minutes or longer, depending on the video’s length.

4. Review the Generated Subtitles

   • Go to Content in YouTube Studio and select the uploaded video.

5. Edit the Subtitles

   • If you need to make adjustments, click Edit on the automatic subtitles page.

6. Download the Subtitles in VTT Format

   • Once you’re satisfied with the subtitles, click Actions in the top-right corner of the screen.
   • Select Download and choose the .vtt format to save the subtitles to your computer.

Additional Tips

• VTT Format: The .vtt format is compatible with most video players and video editing applications.
   
• Error Correction: Automatically generated subtitles are not always 100% accurate, especially if the audio has background noise or uses technical language. It’s recommended to review them carefully before downloading.
