Google allows for live captions to be added to the video playing on Android phones. This is useful, especially when viewing videos in a language you are not familiar with or are suffering from some form of hearing impairment. Google Live Captions use the same technology as Youtube to provide closed captions on a video. Follow the following steps to enabling Google Live Captions feature.

- Captions Style: This controls the look of the captions, and the colors used for the caption letters and the background for the letters.
Step 6: Google Live Captions feature is now active. Whenever you watch a video on your Android phone, live captions will automatically display at the bottom of the screen.
