| Disabled | Dimmed (40% opacity) | No transcript available |
| Disabled (Live) | Dimmed (40% opacity) | Live stream, no transcript |

| Regular videos | Yes (with captions) |
| YouTube Shorts | Yes (with captions) |
| Live streams | No |

note
Some videos have auto-generated captions that may take a moment to load. The extension retries detection several times before marking a video as having no transcript.
