Instagram Rolls Out Auto-generated Captions For Videos | Two Smart Propositions

Instagram Rolls Out Auto-generated Captions For Videos | Two Smart Propositions

Remember the time when Instagram was largely a photo-sharing app. All users could do then was share their pictures in a 1:1 miniature grid, tag their friends, and at max like and comment on each other posts. Well, things have changed, and today we can reasonably conclude that Instagram is no longer just a photo-sharing app. It can do Shorts-like videos, Snapchat-like Stories and Tik-Tok like Reels. Speaking of videos, today, Instagram has moved one step ahead by deploying another intuitive feature in the array of features that behold their gigantic userbase. Auto-generated captions on Instagram! And for those who think “why do you even need automated captions and how is it a market differentiator,” keep reading because we have set up for you two market propositions that elaborate on the feature’s primary and secondary significance.

A gift for the hard-of-hearing communities

A long-overdue feature from Instagram has finally made it to the wild. Auto-generated captions for videos is out globally, and trust me when I say it has come out for good! I am saying this. Someone who can both read and listen normally (fortunately); Imagine how useful and lucrative it will turn out for people with hearing impairments! “Auto-generated captions on Instagram” is a boon, especially for hard-of-hearing communities and we couldn’t be happier for them.

One less concern for the video creators

Being a video creator, I can understand how hard and taxing it can be sitting around writing captions for your videos. Not that trimming an extensive length of a video wasn’t already a matter of concern. You do it anyhow, but then you realise your lyric video requires another service. “Writing captions for your videos on Instagram” because apparently, the social media giant didn’t think of it. Until now. Alas, we’re glad the spite has come to an end! Video creators, we are happy for you! Auto-generated captions are here to make things easier.

How To Enable/Disable Auto-generated Captions On Instagram?

These are called “auto-generated captions” for a reason. You don’t have to enable them separately because every video that you upload will have a layer of preset captions over them. However, if you wish to turn these off, here is what you need to do-

• Update your Instagram app from your dedicated distribution service. (play store/app store)
• Begin uploading your video as you normally would, until you reach the New Post screen.
• Tap Advanced Settings, and under Accessibility, disable Show captions.

Conclusion

Currently, you have to do this manually for each post. Though we hope Instagram puts this in the Instagram settings menu someday, where we can disable the auto-generated captions for videos permanently.
