@TeamYouTube what's the simplest filetype to upload closed captions to a YouTube video? I've tried uploading my script as rtf, srt, and txt, but all of them end up being completely garbled after I upload (just loads of formatting stuff rather than words)

Sorry we've missed your tweet. SubRip(.srt) or SubViewer (.sbv) are usually the simplest formats as they only require basic timing information and can be edited with any plain text editing software. More info here: https://yt.be/help/kuVp . Hope this clarifies.

Is there a filetype I can use which doesn't have any timing info at all? I know there used to be a way to do this but I can't figure out how to do it now

Under the "Upload a file" section of this article: https://yt.be/help/V3X2 you'll find how to upload captions w/o timing info. Also, if the video is in one of the supported languages, you can use the auto-sync service, which has no time code info. Hope this helps.
