Why You Should Always Add Subtitles to Your Videos

Did you know…

that 6% of the world’s population is affected by deafness or hearing loss?

that 85% of all social media videos are watched without sound?

that videos with subtitles are 80% more likely to be watched in full?

According to Forbes, 78% of consumers’ purchases are impacted by companies’ social media posts. For that matter, it’s really to your benefit to connect with as many social media users as possible, including people with disabilities.

While the main use of accessibility features is to enable people with disabilities to use social media, using them properly provides more business benefits, such as greater reach, higher engagement and better SEO. Because not only the deaf community but also everyone who uses social media actively can benefit from readable videos.

85% of videos are watched without sound.  For this reason, subtitles can help boost your SEO and even improve brand recall by enabling search engines to crawl and index your videos. Despite all these benefits, only 36% of organizations add subtitles to all their video content. Wouldn’t you want to make a difference and get ahead?
