How to Auto Enable Subtitles on YouTube PC
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
You don't need an extension for this; YouTube has the setting built in. Click your profile picture, then Settings, then Playback and performance, and tick "Always show captions". Tick the option below it as well if you want YouTube's auto-generated captions on videos that don't have uploaded ones. While a video plays, pressing C turns captions on or off.
