## Resource

Episode 78 of YouTube Marketing with Fexingo dives into community captions—a feature that lets viewers submit translations and captions on your videos. Lucas and Luna walk through how creators like Tom Scott used volunteer translators to reach non-English-speaking audiences, why YouTube now restricts the feature by default (and how to re-enable it), and the data on watch-time gains from multilingual captions. They also discuss the moderation trade-off: community captions save you time but open the door to spam and inaccurate translations. If you're a creator with an international audience, or just starting out and wanting to grow beyond your home market, this episode gives you a concrete playbook for using community contributions to boost discovery and retention. #YouTubeMarketing #CommunityCaptions #GlobalAudience #VideoSEO #MultilingualContent #CreatorTips #YouTubeGrowth #Translation #Captions #AudienceBuilding #ContentStrategy #YouTubeTips #InternationalAudience #Accessibility #WatchTime #TomScott #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
