9. Annotations, Captions, and Subtitles The annotations feature allows the owner of the video to create a clickable link that leads to playlists, channels, videos, or to subscribe. Captions and subtitles, are good for people who can’t hear the video or cant turn the volume up. Youtube provides a great service that translates videos into different languages and subtitles as well.
