If you frequently watch YouTube videos and Shorts, you might have noticed that some content automatically plays with AI-generated english audio, even if it was originally in a local language. Here’s how you can turn it off and customize the audio to your preferred language.
1. Why AI audio Appears on YouTube
YouTube sometimes uses AI-generated voiceovers to translate content into english, especially for Shorts or videos in other languages. While helpful for some, it can be annoying if you prefer the original audio or want content in your native language.
2. Steps to Turn Off AI Audio
Follow these simple steps to disable AI-generated audio:
1. Open the YouTube app on your device.
2. Play the video or Short where AI audio is enabled.
3. Tap the three-dot menu or settings icon on the video screen.
4. Look for “AI Audio” or “Voiceover” settings.
5. Toggle off the AI-generated audio.
Once turned off, the video will play in its original language, or your preferred audio if available.
3. Change audio Language
YouTube also allows you to change the audio language for supported videos:
· Go to Settings → Captions/Audio.
· Select your preferred language.
· YouTube will either play the original audio in that language or use an AI-generated version in the selected language if subtitles are unavailable.
4. Benefits of Turning Off AI Audio
· Enjoy content in original voice and tone.
· Avoid mispronunciations or unnatural AI speech.
· watch videos comfortably in your native language without forced translations.
5. Tips for a Better YouTube Experience
· Keep your YouTube app updated to access the latest audio and caption features.
· Enable captions/subtitles if the video language is unfamiliar.
· Explore YouTube language settings to customize both interface and content preferences.
By turning off AI audio and selecting your preferred language, you can enjoy YouTube videos and Shorts exactly the way you want, without forced translations or automated voiceovers.
