Before seeing how you can add audio tracks to Youtube videos (when the
feature is out), let's talk about what this new feature is about and how
it can be beneficial.
Youtube has had a subtitle feature for a while now and it is a beneficial
feature for everyone around the world. If you frequently watch Youtube
videos, chances are you have seen Youtube's captions with language options.
These aren't just great for people who do not speak the language of the
video but for clarity purposes. This is why captioning Youtube videos is
great for boosting accessibility and viewership.
Multi-Language Audio Tracks
Just like captions, voiceovers are also a great way to boost the accessibility
of your content and gain new viewers. First of all, breaking the language
barrier and allowing your videos to be consumed in multiple languages is
a no-brainer if you are trying to grow your channel. Secondly, sight-impaired
viewers can easily consume the content if audio tracks are added. Changing
subtitles at will is great, but changing the audio of the video at will
is next level. There are many people who prefer voiceovers and everyday
content like Youtube videos have never had multiple audio tracks. The multi
language audio feature is going to grant Youtube videos a whole new level
of accessibility and ensure the growth of the platform, as well as the
content creators.
How to Add Multi Language Audio Tracks to Youtube Videos
In Youtube Studio, head to the subtitles section and choose a video. Then,
click "Add Language" where a new row will come up. Here, you can add audio
files, subtitles, translated video titles, and descriptions to the video.
If you're unsure how to do this, let's see it step by step:
Click your account image on the top right corner of the screen and head
to "Youtube Studio".
Click "Subtitles" to get to the subtitles section and choose a video.
Now, click "Add Language" and choose a language. Then, a new row will
show up where you can use the audio track feature by adding an audio track.
Of course, you can continue to add additional audio tracks and multiple
language tracks by adding more languages.
Generating Multiple Language Audio for Youtube Videos
I think it's safe to say that everyone sees how beneficial voiceovers
are for video content. Even though voiceovers have been around for a while,
they aren't used for everyday content while successful entertainment networks
have studios that work for them in order to create voiceovers for every
piece of media content they produce. Now, to showcase MLA for Youtube videos,
Mr. Beast has demonstrated multiple audio tracks in one of his videos.
If Mr. Beast does it, it's probably a beneficial way to draw audiences.
But not every content creator has the production budget that he has. So,
let's talk about how anyone can generate voiceovers for their Youtube videos
and fully benefit from Youtube's multi language audio feature.
Maestra's video dubber allows users to automatically
generate voiceovers for videos in 80+ languages. Within minutes, you can
create a dubbed video and export the voiceover as an audio file to add
it to your Youtube videos. Check out our quick tutorial on generating AI voiceovers for videos and
