Customize the style of your captions in Google Vids

Captions in Google Vids are now fully customizable. Until now, captions came in a set style. You can now change their font and typography, where they sit on screen, and how they animate, so they match your brand or the look of your video.

Captions make videos easier to follow when the sound is off or when viewers prefer to read along. Captions that look good help your video catch people's attention on social feeds and in company channels. They also make it look finished and ready to share.

Increased customization options for captions can help:

• Marketing and social teams: Match captions to brand fonts and colors for social ads and promo videos. 
• Creators: Add animated, eye-catching captions to make short videos more engaging.
