Chrome browsers running on version Chrome 89 or above come with support for Live Captions. These captions appear in a pop-up window, which can be moved around at the bottom of a video, and can be extended. Users will be able to use it for all kinds of videos they view on Chrome including those on Twitter, YouTube and any web page. As of now, the Live Caption feature works for English only, but support for more languages is likely to be rolled out soon.
