TL;DR

• Expressive Captions finally bring emotion to YouTube subtitles, available now across all devices.
• The feature is now live for English videos uploaded after October 2025, with a wider rollout planned.
• Captions can now show tone, emphasis, and ambient cues like sighs, applause, or gasps.

Well, that’s officially changing, thanks to Google’s latest accessibility updates.
