# Correcting Misspelled Captions After Uploading to YouTube

> Replace YouTube's auto-captions with your Descript transcript.

You may notice that after uploading your completed video to YouTube your video contains captions that differ from your Descript captions. YouTube has a feature that automatically generates captions for videos and makes them available to viewers if not removed or replaced.

## Removing YouTube Automatic Captions

Navigate to YouTube and click on **Your videos** in the left-hand sidebar.
