Getting Started – YouTube Dubbing

Welcome

What does YouTube Dubbing do?

YouTube Dubbing is a browser extension that translates a video and reads it aloud in your language. Open a foreign-language video and start dubbing with one click instead of trying to follow every subtitle.

Works on YouTube, Udemy, Bilibili, and more than 190 other sites
Supports 138 languages and a range of AI voices
Core features are free to use

Each step in this guide is quick. Complete it, then select “Next”.

Pin the icon

Pin the extension icon in three steps

Follow the three real browser screenshots on the right to pin YouTube Dubbing to your browser toolbar.

Select the puzzle-piece icon on the browser toolbar to open the Extensions menu
Find “YouTube Dubbing”, then select the pin icon on the right
When the purple extension icon appears on the toolbar, it’s pinned and ready

Once pinned, the icon stays visible in the top-right corner of your browser. You’ll use it to open settings and start dubbing.

Core settings

Open the extension’s core settings

Select the extension icon you just pinned to open the panel. This is the main settings hub for the features you’ll use while watching videos.

Switch the Voice and AI model, turn subtitles on or off, and adjust Target Language, volume, background audio, and other commonly used options.

Choose what works for you, then select Save Settings at the bottom. You can return and change these options at any time.

Log in

Log in to your account

Select Login at the top of the popup. The account page opens, where you can create an account with your email address or log in to an existing account.

After logging in, you can watch 5 videos for free every day

If the extension asks you to log in again, open the FAQ and check its site-access and third-party-cookie instructions.

Start dubbing

Open a video and start dubbing

On YouTube, open a video and find the extension’s “D” button on the player. Select it to start translating and dubbing.

Green button: AI-optimized subtitles for the best experience
Yellow button: creator-uploaded subtitles, which are usually good quality
Red button: subtitles automatically recognized by the platform’s ASR
Rainbow button: your own subtitle version, edited and saved with the subtitle editor

The first playback may take a few seconds to prepare. That is normal.
