Note: this requires the use of YouTube Studio: https://studio.youtube.com

Follow the steps below to include captions or subtitles in your YouTube videos:

Visit https://studio.youtube.com
Select Transcriptions in the left sidebar. This should load all of your uploaded videos.
Find a video that you would like to add subtitles, and then select the small arrow under Languages for the video. Select the language used in the video by scrolling through the drop-down that appears. If you use the same language in all of your videos, I recommend checking Make this the default for my channel.
Select Confirm.
At this point, YouTube has already created captions for the video, all you need to do is go through the subtitles and correct any errors. To do this, select Publish (located on the same line as the language you selected). This will bring you to a page where you can see all of the subtitles and the time they were spoken in the video.
Select Edit in the top left corner to correct any mistakes or make any changes.
From here, you can fully edit the subtitles. Add, remove, or replace any wording, rearrange the order of the subtitles, as well as delete an entire section of subtitles all together. To save your changes, select Publish edits.
