“We found that creators testing multi-language dubbed videos saw over 15 per cent of their watch time coming from views in the video’s non-primary language,” it added.

Moreover, on average, viewers watched over two million hours of dubbed video daily in the last month alone.

More than 3,500 multi-language videos are already uploaded in over 40 languages, the platform said.

Creators have to add different audio tracks through the “Subtitles Editor” tool when uploading a video to their channel.

The company further mentioned that “existing content in creators’ catalogues can be updated with additional audio tracks as well.”

“If you’re a viewer, just click the video’s settings to see what audio tracks are available to start watching in another language,” it added.
