Twitter is Testing a ‘CC’ Button to Turn Video Captions On or Off

Twitter is really trying hard to make its platform more user-friendly and convenient. Just now, Twitter has announced that it has started testing a “CC” button that will let users turn video captions on or off. Currently, iOS users will be able to use this feature. The Android users have to wait a bit more to get this feature. The company also posted a video which shows that the CC button will appear in the top-right corner of a video that has captions available.

Twitter has been testing multiple features over the past few months. The company is also working on a feature that would allow users to set a status on their profiles and tweets.
