YouTube Live's auto captions are limited and often not working. StreamTranslate adds real-time translated subtitles to your YouTube Live stream via OBS browser source — no YouTube captions needed.
Start Translating Free → No credit card · 28+ languages · Works with OBS, Streamlabs, XSplitYouTube's auto-captions for live streams are only available for channels with 1,000+ subscribers in English, and even then they often lag, misfire, or simply don't appear. They're also viewer-side only — your stream recording won't have burned-in captions, and viewers have to manually enable them.
StreamTranslate bypasses YouTube's captions entirely. It adds subtitles directly to your stream via OBS browser source — visible to all viewers by default, available in 28+ languages (not just English), with under 2-second latency.
Your stream recording also gets the captions burned in, which helps YouTube SEO and clip shareability.
