Tips & Best Practices
Captions Boost Engagement by Up to 80%
Most viewers watch videos on mute. Adding captions makes your content accessible and keeps viewers watching longer.
Use Karaoke Mode for More Engagement
Word-by-word highlighting keeps the viewer's attention focused and makes your content feel more dynamic and professional.
Choose Large, High-Contrast Fonts
Pick fonts that are large enough and have good contrast against your video background to ensure readability on small screens.
Center Captions for Instagram Reels
Position captions in the center of the frame to avoid overlap with Instagram's interface elements at the top and bottom.
