Twitter is reportedly in the process of testing a new CC button to turn captions on and off on videos with captions available. The roll-out is currently available for some iOS users and will soon come for Android users as well.
The microblogging site has been on a spree to introduce new features. As per the video shared on the Twitter Support account, the CC button will appear in the top right corner of videos with captions avail. The captions will only be added for new videos, meaning that videos that have already been uploaded to the social network will not get automatic captions.
The company wrote, “Twitter Video captions or no captions, it is now easier to choose for some of you on iOS, and soon on Android. On videos that have captions available, we are testing the option to turn captions off/on with a new ‘CC’ button.”
Last year, Twitter rolled out auto-generated captions on videos on the web, iOS, and Android supporting more than 30 languages including English, Hindi, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, Chinese and more.
Twitter has been testing numerous features over the past few months. It is also working on the Edit button that may appear in future to let users edit or modify the already sent tweet. Earlier this month, the company introduced the ALT badge and image descriptions.
Currently, the company is said to be working on a feature that would allow users to set a status on their profiles and tweets. It appears that users would not only have the option to set a profile-level status, but also be able to set a status for a specific tweet.
