Google has temporarily disabled advanced captions on YouTube without prior notice, citing technical issues. The company explained that the feature, known as SRV3, was causing playback errors for some users. In a statement, Google said the decision to disable the feature was made to ensure a smoother viewing experience and to allow the team time to resolve the underlying problems. The company emphasized that the move is temporary and that it is actively working on a fix. Users who rely on advanced captions, including those with enhanced accuracy and speaker identification, have reported disruptions in video playback and caption display. Google has not provided a specific timeline for when the feature will be restored, but confirmed that it remains committed to improving accessibility and reliability on the platform.
