Quick answers
Do all these tasks use the same caption output?
No. A browser overlay is part of the video image, a Twitch extension is a separate viewer interface, and native CC requires a compatible caption feed. Personal device captions may stay on that device.
Does a guide mean StreamTranslate supplies every feature it describes?
Each guide identifies the relevant StreamTranslate workflow and its limits. Device features, human captioning, translated audio and meeting-platform functions may require other tools.
Where should I begin with StreamTranslate?
Start with the guide for your audio source and audience, then follow its setup links. Check your actual viewer output before relying on captions during a live session.
