Should I always include captions on my reels?

Always add closed captions to your reels, especially if you have an accent or speak in a way that might be harder for some viewers to understand. Captions make your content accessible to more people and ensure your message gets across clearly. You can add them directly in your social media app. This is particularly important for artists with Eastern European or other strong accents, but it’s a best practice for everyone.
