Before you ask
Video → WebVTT, answered
01What is WebVTT, in plain terms?＋
The caption format built for the web. Point an HTML video player at a .vtt file and captions appear — no plugin, no conversion.
02VTT or SRT — which do I need?＋
For a website player, VTT. For YouTube, most social platforms and editing software, SRT. Both hold the same words and timings.
03Are the captions baked into the video?＋
No, they stay a separate track so viewers can switch them off. To burn them in, use the editor.
