What is YouTube’s Multi-audio Track Feature?

YouTube’s multi-language audio feature allows creators to share their videos with a larger audience by allowing them to add audio in other languages. Creators can upload additional languages as audio tracks for new or existing videos, helping them to reach a wider global audience.

Once the creators upload multiple language audios to their video, viewers can pick a different audio track from the same menu where they currently are able to adjust other settings like subtitles or audio quality.

Note: Since the multi-language audio feature has been recently added, some of you guys may not have multi-language audio available, especially for changing audio tracks to another language. YouTube said they are continuing to roll this feature out to more creators and videos.
