What are autogenerated subtitles?
Autogenerated subtitles allow Dailymotion users to easily access video transcripts and give them more ways to enjoy your content.
Auto subtitles don't require any extra action on your side when uploading content. Dailymotion is automatically generating them if your video is eligible.

Which videos are eligible for autogenerated subtitles?
Requirements
Dailymotion is generating auto subtitles on videos published by channels with at least 100 views and set in one of these languages: French, English, Spanish, Turkish, German, Arabic or Italian.
To check in which language your channel is set, follow these steps:
- From your Dailymotion Studio, navigate to Channel > Content defaults
- Your channel language is set in the Language field
If your channel language is set in one of the above supported languages and if your channel cumulates at least 100 views, your videos are eligible for autogenerated subtitles.
Get accurate autogenerated subtitles
To get accurate autogenerated subtitles, we recommend setting the video language to the actual language of the video:
- By default, the video language is determined by the setting in Channel > Content defaults > Language
- You can also set the video language during the upload process using the Language field:
Note
Autosubtitles can only be generated in 1 language per content. If you need subtitles in multiple languages, you can manually add and manage subtitles from your Dailymotion Studio.
Processing duration
Autogenerated subtitles should be available shortly after the content encoding. Please note that the longer the content, the longer it takes to generate the subtitles.
For example:
- If your content length is 30 minutes, the subtitles might be generated within 3 - 5 minutes
- If your content length is 1 hour, the subtitles might be generated within 5 - 10 minutes
- If your content length is 2 hours, the subtitles might be generated within 10 - 15 minutes
