<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Doug,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Perhaps they've removed the auto-captions. I just tested that on my channel and the CC button disappears (closed captions show as 'off' in the Settings, however) if I don't have another caption file uploaded.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">They may have realized the machine-generated captions are inaccurate, so opted to remove them entirely rather than fix them. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Regards,</p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Athen] Vanishing CC button on some YouTube videos</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<div>
<div dir="ltr">A while back there were a number of us that were finding YouTube videos lacking the CC button and at that time it turned out to be a recent YouTube update broke things on their end.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Today we noticed a video lacked the CC button to toggle on/off captions and yet other videos on that same channel had CC button in the player along with either full on English captions or the auto-generated ones.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way that a channel owner can choose to turn off or remove the CC button? If so, where does one do that?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If not a channel owner choice, has anyone figured out why the CC button is sometimes absent? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking at my personal YouTube page I see one video I made as a mini-tutorial for a friend learning GarageBand software lacks a CC button but is mostly silent or showing tweaks of music. It has no spoken section to get swept up by automated speech recognition
to create bad captions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The video we were looking into here at UW does start with a bit of music only but does eventually have spoken English. Wondered if X-amount of music intro triggers the CC button to go away? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone have some suggestions around this anomaly we can then take into a conversation with the channel owner?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, <br clear="all">
<div><br>
