Twitter confirmed that it is now testing a 'CC' button which generally means "closed captioning," mainly used for providing text captions or subtitles on the videos posted on the platform. The social media company will fulfill the feature for the platform, and its systems will determine the language that it will provide captioning for the public to read.
Twitter 'CC' Button: Coming Soon on Videos Posted on Platform
The social media company with a short word form for its status announced a new feature that is coming to the platform, and it is with the CC button available for all. The feature will activate and deactivate closed captioning on a particular video or clip posted by a user online, and it will provide a running text based on their preferred language.
