Headliner, the popular tool for turning podcasts into shareable video content, is asking a simple but timely question: are you using captions on YouTube?
In a new user survey promoted via Podnews, Headliner is inviting video creators, podcasters, and marketers to share whether and how they caption their content. One participant will be randomly selected to win a free year of Headliner Pro.
Why Captions Matter in 2025
With more than 80% of social video now watched without sound, captions are no longer optional — they’re essential. On YouTube, captions boost not only accessibility but also engagement, SEO performance, and watch time. Google indexes captions, which can help creators rank for keywords spoken in their videos, even if not listed in the title or description.
Moreover, accessibility laws and platform policies are pushing more creators toward captioning by default — especially for business or educational content.
Headliner’s Angle
Headliner has long supported automatic captioning and waveform videos that work well on platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This survey helps the company understand user behavior as more creators embrace multi-format, multi-platform publishing.
While the survey itself is brief, the insights could inform new features or integrations in future updates to Headliner’s platform.
What You Can Win
Anyone who completes the survey by the deadline will be entered to win one free year of Headliner Pro, which includes:
- HD video exports
- Unlimited captioned audiograms
- Custom branding and templates
- Priority support
This is a chance to contribute feedback — and possibly upgrade your content workflow for free.
