A demographic that is often overlooked when it comes to videos is the deaf and hearing impaired. We just made watching videos on our YouTube channel much easier for the hearing impaired to enjoy.
Certainly deaf viewers can see videos and may be able to glean some information from them, but now with the addition of closed captioning on all of our YouTube videos, the hearing impaired can get the same kind of enjoyment and instruction from videos as their hearing counterparts.

Another benefit gained by closed captions is that they can help those who are learning English to grasp it better by reading the words the characters are saying. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of English can pick up the subtle nuances of the English language and apply it to their own speech and writing. As kids sing along with Jammer, they are now able to see the words they have memorize pop up on the screen. How cool is that?
This also helps us increase search engine optimization, aka SEO. Basically that means more people can find our videos more easily. That’s because Google is actually able to search within the context of a video, through closed captions, to find what you’re searching for. Finding international SEO solutions has been difficult for us but it’s something we are desperate to find because we want to grow our fanbase across the globe. I think this should be the ultimate aim of any ambitious YouTube channel. We’re also going to soon be looking into other SEO methods such as looking into niche edits to further boost our videos and webpage some more and see how wide of an audience we can garner once we really start to deploy multiple marketing techniques. If you are not sure exactly what is search engine optimization, you can find additional information on websites such as onlineadvantages.net for a stronger background.
The potential is limitless when it comes to the entertainment and information closed captions on YouTube videos can provide.
